evacuant
Causes bodily discharge
Evacuant refers to something that promotes evacuation, particularly of the bowels.
In medicine, an evacuant is a purgative or laxative—a substance that induces emptying: The doctor prescribed an evacuant to relieve the blockage.
The word functions as both noun and adjective: evacuant medications.
It belongs to formal medical vocabulary and sees little everyday use.
