The process of cleansing or purifying; the removal of impurities or waste products from something.
From Latin emundare (to cleanse, purify), from e- (out) + mundare (to clean). The -ation suffix forms a noun from the verb.
This is an archaic medical term that shows how old the idea of bodily cleansing is—doctors centuries ago used emundation to describe what we now call detoxification, metabolism, or simply the body's natural cleanup processes.
