meaning of "gouts" in "gouts of sweat" ...what a toil it was to trudge up the slope! What **gouts of sweat** fell from what exhausted temples! What does "gout" mean in this context? Is this something like a "drop" of sweat? I don't know how to put this but is this a common vocabulary to go with "liquid"? or to measure(?) sweat? (like you use certain words such as in a "loaf" of bread, a "cup" of coffee...) Thanks in advance!
