Abevacuation

/æbɪˌvækjuˈeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

A medical or technical term referring to an incomplete or partial evacuation of something, especially bodily matter.

Etymology

From Latin ab- (away from, incomplete) + evacuation (from evacuare, to empty out). This is a rare medical or scientific term combining the prefix ab- with the standard term evacuation.

Kelly Says

In medicine, doctors distinguish between full evacuation and abevacuation—recognizing that sometimes the body only partially empties, which can indicate an underlying problem that needs investigation!
