Adjective

excrementive (not comparable)

  1. (archaic) excretory
    • 1623, Owen Feltham, Resolves: Divine, Moral, Political:
      It may, indeed, be thought a modesty in nature to cover those excrementive parts, which, left uncovered, perhaps might offer offence. In birds, they are wholly concealed by their feathers; in beasts, by the tail they are produced with.
