Etymology

The term 'exuded' comes from the Latin word 'exudare', which means 'to sweat out' or 'to flow out.' The prefix 'ex-' means 'out' and 'udare' means 'to ooze or sweat.' This concept has maintained a similar meaning throughout its evolution in the English language, originally entering the lexicon in the late 15th century. Over the centuries, 'exude' has been commonly used in both scientific and literary contexts, often to describe the process of natural emissions from living organisms, as well as the figurative expression of emotions and characteristics. Its application has broadened in modern usage to include a variety of contexts, from biology to interpersonal dynamics.
