What does EGESTA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
Waste matter discharged from the body, especially undigested food residue, faeces and urine.
Egesta is the counterpart of ingesta, the material taken into the body, and physiologists use the pair of terms to describe what enters and leaves a living organism during digestion and excretion. The word is treated as a plural, covering everything expelled through the body's excretory channels rather than any single substance. It appears almost exclusively in biology, medicine and older scientific writing rather than in ordinary conversation.
