Kanji 排 repudiate, exclude, expel Similar words 排はい 出しゅつ 排出 is a broader term for discharge or emission, not limited to biological waste; 排泄 specifically refers to excretion from living organisms.
分ぶん 泌ぴつ 分泌 means secretion (release of useful substances like hormones), while 排泄 is elimination of waste.
Etymology Compound of 排 (expel, exclude) and 泄 (leak, discharge). The kanji 泄 is not a jōyō kanji, so the word is sometimes written with kana as 排せつ.
