urinate
UK: ˈjʊərɪneɪt | US: ˈjʊrəneɪt
vi. to discharge urine from the body
vt. to discharge (urine) from the body
The word "urinate" derives from the Latin urina (meaning "urine"), combined with the verb-forming suffix -ate. The Latin urina traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root wers- ("to rain, moisten"), reflecting the liquid nature of urine. The suffix -ate (from Latin -atus) commonly converts nouns into verbs, indicating the action related to the root. Thus, "urinate" literally means "to perform the action of urine discharge."
