Sultry में salt सुनिए। उमस भरी दोपहर में इतना पसीना आता है कि त्वचा पर नमक जम जाता है — यही भारी, बेचैन करने वाली गर्मी sultry है। Opposite: cool, refreshing।

Hear SALT in SULTRY. On a hot, humid afternoon you sweat so much that salt dries on your skin; that heavy, uncomfortable heat is sultry. Its opposites are cool and refreshing.
