Egurgitate

/ɪˈɡɜːrdʒɪteɪt/ verb

Definition

To discharge or pour out; an archaic or rare form related to 'regurgitate' or 'disgorge.'

Etymology

From Latin e- 'out' plus gurgitare (to swallow/gulp), from gurges (whirlpool); the prefix 'e-' (out) replaces the 're-' found in 'regurgitate.'

Kelly Says

This is practically the same word as 'regurgitate' but with a different prefix (e- vs. re-)—it's so rare that it's barely documented, showing how prefixes multiply but only some combinations survive in actual use.
