emesis
Forceful gastric expulsion
Emesis is the medical term for vomiting—the forceful expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth.
The word appears in clinical contexts and in compound terms: hyperemesis (excessive vomiting), antiemetic (a drug that prevents nausea).
Outside medicine, vomit and throwing up are the usual terms.
