What is another word for exudation?
Pronunciation: [ɛɡzjuːdˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Exudation refers to the process of liquid oozing or flowing out from a material or body part, often as a result of inflammation or injury. There are several synonyms for this term, which include secretion, discharge, effusion, excretion, seepage, and leakage. Each of these words describes a slightly different aspect of the process, with secretion and excretion both implying the active release of a substance, while discharge, effusion, and exudation suggest a more passive leakage. Seepage and leakage imply a slow and perhaps even unnoticed flow of liquid. While all of these terms can be used to describe the same phenomenon, they each offer a slightly different shade of nuance and emphasis.
