vomitus
What was regurgitated
Vomitus is the matter expelled from the stomach during vomiting—a medical or clinical term for what's commonly called vomit, puke, or throw-up.
The word appears most often in healthcare contexts: The nurse noted blood in the vomitus.
It sounds technical and detached, rarely used in everyday speech.
