英语词汇“secretion”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

A secretion is a substance made and released by a living thing, like when your skin sweats.

Secretions don't have to do with secrets, but with secreting: synthesizing and then producing a substance. A machine can't make a secretion — only living things can. Many secretions are harmless, while others are dangerous to other animals. For example, the secretions of some frogs are a type of poison. Some secretions stay within an animal, like the bile secreted by our livers. Saliva is another secretion. The word comes from the Latin root secretionem, "separation."
