Relating to or composed of feces; connected with bodily waste matter.
From Latin 'faecal' or 'faecalis,' derived from 'faex' meaning dregs or sediment, originally referring to the bottom layer of wine or sediment in general.
Medical terminology like 'faecal' comes from Latin because Renaissance doctors wanted to sound scientific—using a 'dead' language made bodily functions seem more respectable!
