faeces
Digestion's final product
Faeces is the British spelling of feces—solid waste expelled from the bowels.
The word appears in medical, scientific, and formal contexts where *shit* or *poop* would be too casual or crude: The lab analyzed the faeces for parasites.
Fecal matter, excrement, and stool are near-synonyms in clinical settings.
