New word #4: micturition

Jul 31, 2024

Hello everyone,

How are you? As always, it is a pleasure to have you here.

After the recent post about cattywampus, I am beating my own expectations. I powered through my procrastination, and the 4th instalment of the New word series is here.

Today, I will introduce you to micturition.

Micturition

Meaning

It is the scientific term for urination, and it comes from the Latin micturio (to urinate). As usual, Wiktionary link for more info

With micturition being a scientific term, I doubt I will have many occasions to use it. Nevertheless, I still find the word amusing.

Examples

  1. After the operation, I find micturition to be painful.
  2. My doctor advised that, due to my condition, micturition will increase in frequency.

Conclusion

Thank you for your time, and until we meet again, take care of yourselves.

Cheers,
EpiHandle
