The medical term for vomiting, the act of forcing up food and liquid from the stomach through the mouth.
From ancient Greek 'emesis' meaning 'vomiting,' derived from 'emein' meaning 'to vomit,' showing that doctors have been using this word for medical description for over 2,000 years.
Emesis is actually your body's built-in safety system—when you eat something poisonous or toxic, your brain triggers vomiting to get it out before it can really hurt you, even though it feels terrible!
