Exudatory

/ɛɡˈzuːdətɔːri/ adjective

Definition

Of, relating to, or promoting exudation; characterized by the discharge of fluid from tissues.

Etymology

From Latin 'exudare' with the suffix -ory (relating to or performing), this adjective specifically describes things that cause or promote exudation.

Kelly Says

Both 'exudative' and 'exudatory' mean similar things, but 'exudatory' emphasizes the actual process of causing the fluid to come out, while 'exudative' just means it has that quality.
