A medical procedure that flushes the bowels using liquid injected into the rectum.
means A procedure that injects liquid into the rectum to flush out the bowels, used medically to clear constipation or prep the gut for examination.
from From Greek 'enienai,' meaning 'to send in' or 'inject' — built from 'en' (in) plus 'hienai' (to send). The word passed through Late Latin into English essentially unchanged, carrying its blunt original sense: something sent inward, no euphemism required.
