Faecal

/ˈfiːkəl/

मल-संबंधी; मल-युक्त

Origin & History

From Latin faex/faec- meaning “dregs, sediment”; in modern scientific use “faeces” came to mean excrement, and “faecal” means ‘relating to faeces’.

लैटिन faex/faec- से, अर्थ “तलछट/अवशेष”; आधुनिक वैज्ञानिक प्रयोग में “faeces” का अर्थ मल/विसर्जित पदार्थ हुआ और “faecal” का अर्थ “मल से संबंधित” बना।
