Extromit

/ɛkˈstraʊmɪt/ verb

Definition

To send or thrust outward; to expel or emit from within.

Etymology

From Latin 'extromittere,' combining 'ex-' (out) and 'mittere' (to send), literally meaning 'to send out.'

Kelly Says

This is an obsolete word from early scientific and medical texts—doctors once used 'extromit' to describe the body expelling substances, but 'excrete' or 'expel' replaced it.
