Definition
To discharge urine (liquid waste produced by kidneys) from the body through the urethra.
Etymology
From Latin 'urinare,' derived from 'urina' (urine), which comes from Greek 'ouron' meaning 'urine.' The Romans had a specific verb for this biological function, and the Latin term was adopted directly into English during the medieval period.
Kelly Says
Romans were so matter-of-fact about biology that they had a direct Latin verb 'urinare' for this function, showing they didn't consider it taboo like modern English speakers do—we borrowed their clinical term rather than inventing our own.
