In medicine and biology, matter discharged from the body, especially feces; waste material expelled from an organism.
From Latin 'dejecta,' the neuter plural of 'dejectus' (thrown down). The term uses medical Latin to describe material that is 'thrown down' or expelled from the body.
Doctors use fancy Latin terms like dejecta to discuss disgusting things in a professional way—it's much easier to say than the actual word!
