antiperspirant [an-ti-pur-sper-uhnt]

noun

1. An astringent preparation for reducing perspiration, usually containing aluminum or zirconium and used to prevent body odor and clothing stains.

EX. I hate to admit, as an experience D & D player who played the same dwarf character for several years, that dwarves would probably need antiperspirant and lots of it on their hairy little bodies. I don't think my dwarf ever took off his armor to even go to sleep, so he was wearing the same clothes for weeks at a time, and probably smelt like the stinkiest of humble Bumble Bootsbanes; and a very smelly dwarf-pope.
