Morphology
The meaning 'sweat produced in the area under the arms' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'armpit' (the area beneath the arm) with 'sweat' (body perspiration); a B1 learner who knows both words will understand this compound. This straightforward noun‑noun composition is common in English and cross‑linguistically, so the expression is transparent.
Etymology
Armpit sweat paints a simple image: armpit is the 'area under the arm' and sweat is the liquid the body makes, so the phrase comes from sweat that gathers under the arms. So today it simply means 'sweat produced in the area under the arms'.
