expectorated
Ejected from mouth
Expectorated is the past tense of expectorate, a clinical or formal word for coughing up and spitting out phlegm or mucus from the respiratory tract.
Medical contexts favor this term: The patient expectorated blood-tinged sputum.
Outside clinical settings, it sometimes appears as a deliberately elevated way to say spat: He expectorated onto the sidewalk.
