Exudative is a term used to describe a type of fluid discharge from a body part or cavity. Some synonyms for exudative include oozing, seeping, secreting, discharging, and weeping. These words all imply a process of bodily fluid leaving a localized area, often due to inflammation or injury. Other synonyms for exudative include excreting, leaking, draining, and flowing. These words all describe fluid movement in a similar way as exudative, but can also refer to non-bodily fluids like water or gas. Regardless of the word used, exudative and its synonyms all point to the same meaning: a type of fluid discharge from a body part.
