The word "perspire" originates from Latin perspirare, combining per- (through) and spirare (to breathe). Historically, it reflected the belief that sweat was a form of "breathing out" through the skin. Over time, the meaning narrowed to specifically denote the secretion of sweat, retaining the metaphorical idea of the body "breathing" moisture outward.
