The plural form of emesis, meaning multiple instances or types of vomiting.
Greek 'emesis' meaning vomiting, with the standard English plural ending '-es' added to create the plural form.
Doctors use this word when patients have repeated vomiting episodes—it's much more specific than just saying 'the patient threw up a lot' because it acknowledges each separate vomiting event.
