deodorant

word

Definition

A product that you put on your body, usually under your arms, to prevent or cover unpleasant smells caused by sweat.

Usage & Nuances

Commonly found as a spray, stick, or roll-on. Not all deodorants prevent sweating; 'antiperspirant' is a related but more specific product. In casual English, 'deodorant' usually refers to underarm use.
