VOMICOSE Meaning and Definition

1. Vomicose is an adjective that describes something as being repulsive or nauseating, particularly in relation to a putrid or foul smell. The term is derived from the Latin word "vomica," meaning a discharge or abscess. It is predominantly used to describe odors or substances emitting a revolting stench, causing intense feelings of disgust or aversion in individuals who encounter it.

   In a more specific medical context, vomicose can relate to the presence of an abscess or a cyst that contains pus or other substances. It implies a state of unhealthy decay, suggesting the presence of infection or decaying matter within a particular area. This usage often pertains to medical conditions such as vomicose glands or vomicose lesions, which involve the presence of abscesses or swollen areas filled with pus or discharge.

   Beyond the medical context, vomicose can also describe attributes of a loathsome, nauseating, or repugnant nature. It is often employed metaphorically or figuratively to describe anything that induces a profound feeling of repulsion or is morally offensive to one's senses. This can include describing a revolting odor, a despicable act, or something that inspires intense detestation due to its unpleasant or nauseating characteristics. Consequently, vomicose is a term used to vividly convey an extreme distaste or aversion, emphasizing the particularly offensive or sickening aspects of the subject being described.

2. Ulcerous, marked by many ulcers; profusely suppurating.
