defecated
Passed solid waste
Defecated is the past tense of defecate, meaning to expel feces from the body.
The word is clinical and formal—what doctors write in charts and lawyers use in depositions: The patient defecated normally after surgery.
In casual speech, people prefer cruder or softer alternatives.
