Etymology: < post-classical Latin expectoration-, expectoratio action or process of expectorating (1542 or earlier) < expectorāt- , past participial stem of expectorāre expectorate v. + -iō -ion suffix¹. Compare French expectoration action or process of expectorating (1606 or earlier).

a. Originally: (chiefly Medicine) the action of coughing up and spitting out mucus or other material from the lungs and respiratory passages; the production of sputum; an instance of this. In later use also more widely: the action of spitting; an instance of this.
