(noun) A very uncomfortably hot, moist atmosphere in which one ‘sizzles.’


‘Sizzard’ seems to be a blend of ‘sizzle’ and ‘blizzard.’


 


Example:
Washington has fully adopted the word sizzard to indicate the exact opposite of blizzard.
--'Washington Lavishness,' Boston Evening Transcript, August 18, 1894
