EXENTERATE Meaning and Definition

  1. Exenterate is a verb that originated from the Latin word "exenterare," which translates to "to disembowel." It is used to describe the act of removing, extracting, or dissecting the internal organs or contents of a cavity, particularly within a living organism.

    In medicine, exenteration commonly refers to a surgical procedure where a cavity, such as the orbit (eye socket), pelvic cavity, or abdominal cavity, is emptied from its contents. This procedure may involve removing organs, tissues, or diseased structures within the cavity for therapeutic or diagnostic reasons. For example, in the case of exenteration of the eye socket, the eyeball may be removed along with other structures when treating severe eye diseases or cancer.

    Exenterate may also be used figuratively to describe removing or eliminating something entirely from a system, group, or environment. For instance, in the context of ecology, it may refer to the eradication of an invasive species from a specific habitat, resulting in a restoration of balance within the ecosystem.

    Overall, exenterate pertains to the act of emptying or extracting the internal contents or structures from a cavity, whether in a surgical or metaphorical sense.

Etymology of EXENTERATE

The word "exenterate" comes from the Latin word "exenteratus", which is the past participle form of the verb "exenterare". In Latin, "ex" means "out" or "away" and "enteron" refers to the intestines. Thus, the combination of these elements in Latin gives the meaning of "to remove the intestines" or "to disembowel". "Exenterate" has retained a similar meaning in modern English, often used in medical or surgical contexts to describe the process of removing the internal organs from a dead body or to refer to a particular surgical procedure.
