- to empty solid waste from the bowels synonym defecate A more polite way of expressing this is ‘to go to the toilet/lavatory’ (British English), ‘to go to the bathroom’ (North American English), or ‘to go’. A more formal expression is ‘to empty the bowels’.Word OriginMiddle English: related to Dutch krappe, from krappen ‘pluck or cut off’, and perhaps also to Old French crappe ‘siftings’, Anglo-Latin crappa ‘chaff’. The original sense was ‘chaff’, later ‘residue from rendering fat’, also ‘dregs of beer’. Current senses date from the late 19th cent.
