Effossion

/ɪˈfɑʃən/ noun

Definition

The act of digging out, excavating, or removing something from the earth.

Etymology

From Latin effossio, from effodere (to dig out), with -ion suffix. Used in archaeological and geological contexts to describe the process of excavation.

Kelly Says

Before 'archaeology' became the standard term, scholars used 'effossion' to describe the systematic digging for ancient remains—it's a more accurate term than 'excavation' since it emphasizes the digging-out process.
