excrete
Eliminate bodily waste
To excrete is to discharge waste matter from the body.
The term covers elimination through any biological process—urination, defecation, sweating, even exhaling carbon dioxide.
Medical and scientific contexts favor excrete over cruder alternatives: The kidneys excrete toxins from the blood.
