Relating to, involving, or promoting the elimination of waste from the body.
Formed from Latin excernere with the suffix -ive (meaning 'tending to' or 'relating to'), describing something that has the quality or function of excreting.
The suffix -ive is incredibly productive in English—it lets us turn almost any verb into an adjective, so 'excrete' becomes 'excretive' just like 'attract' becomes 'attractive.'
