1. 1泌尿的;泌尿系統的(urinary tract 泌尿道;urinary tract infection 尿道感染,口語常說「泌尿道感染」)

    Urinary is the adjective for the parts of the body that make, store, and carry out urine, and for anything to do with that process. The phrase you will meet most is **urinary tract** — the whole pathway: the kidneys, the two tubes down to the bladder, the bladder itself, and the tube out. Very common in real life is **urinary tract infection**, often to **UTI**, which makes peeing hurt and makes you need to go all the time. You will also see urinary system, urinary problems, and, in hospitals, urinary (a soft tube put in to drain the bladder). This is a medical-register word: doctors, nurses, , and health articles use it, and ordinary people use it too when talking about a diagnosis, but nobody uses it casually about the act of peeing itself. Note the shape of it — urinary almost always sits in front of a noun; you would not say "my problem is urinary" in normal speech.

From the word’s history

借自新拉丁文 ūrīnārius,就是 urine 加 -ary。

Wiktionary
