What does "emeto" or "emetic" mean in medical terms?

Stomach
Sugar; blood sugar
Enlargement
Vomiting

The correct answer is: Vomiting

In medical terms, "emeto" or "emetic" is related to vomiting. An emetic is a substance that is used to induce vomiting, while "emeto" typically refers to vomiting or emesis in medical terminology. This is why the correct answer is "D. Vomiting." The other options are incorrect: A. Stomach - Although the stomach is related to digestion and can be associated with vomiting, it is not the primary meaning of "emeto" or "emetic." B. Sugar; blood sugar - This is not related to the term "emeto" or "emetic" and does not have a direct link to vomiting. C. Enlargement - While this term is also unrelated to "emeto" or "emetic," it refers to an increase in the size of a body part or organ, which is not the meaning of the term in question.
