WIK-ing
Definition
The property of a fabric that allows it to pull moisture, such as sweat, away from the skin and move it to the outer surface of the material to evaporate.
Etymology
Derived from the noun 'wick'—the strip of material in a candle that draws up wax. It entered the textile context in the 20th century to describe the capillary action of synthetic or processed fibers pulling liquid away from a surface.
