Morphology
antiperspirant = perspirant (semi-transparent) = anti + perspire + ant
The structure anti- + perspirant is fairly clear, but perspirant is uncommon and the full meaning is somewhat lexicalized as a technical product term.
Etymology
Antiperspirant comes from the parts anti- 'against' and perspire 'to sweat', so it literally means 'against sweat'. It is something you put on your skin, usually under the arms, to reduce or stop sweating.
