Evomit

/ˈɛvəmɪt/ verb

Definition

An archaic or obsolete term meaning to vomit or discharge; to eject from the mouth or stomach.

Etymology

From Latin 'e-' (out) + 'vomere' (to vomit). A very rare Latinate verb that appears occasionally in historical medical texts but is now replaced by 'vomit.'

Kelly Says

This word is so archaic that most dictionaries barely include it—it's the kind of term you'd find in 16th-century medical texts describing disease symptoms before modern medical terminology simplified everything.
