喜樂美語
  1. 1

    When a body has waste it does not need, it has to send that waste out. That sending-out is to excrete. You excrete through the bowel (solid waste), as urine, and a little through the skin as sweat. Doctors and biology teachers use this word; at home people more often say go to the toilet or sweat. It is not a rude word, but it is a body-science word, so it can feel cold and medical. Though actually, mix it up with secrete, which is almost the other job of “send out”: a makes a useful liquid — spit, milk, a hormone — and sends it out on purpose. Excrete is for waste. Same sort of picture, different job.
