feses

Feses is not a term with a widely recognized definition in English-language reference works. In most contexts, it is encountered as a misspelling or variant of the word feces, which denotes solid waste expelled from the digestive tract. The term feces is used in medicine, biology, sanitation, and daily language to describe solid matter excreted by humans and other animals. Fecal matter typically consists of undigested food residues, water, bacteria, cells, and metabolic byproducts. Its analysis, appearance, and composition can provide information about health, digestion, and the gut microbiome. Guidelines for handling, sampling, and disposal are issued by health authorities to ensure hygiene and safety.

Beyond potential misspellings, feses may appear as a proper noun in fictional works or as a surname in some cultures, but without a defined meaning. In such cases, interpretation depends on the work or individual.

Etymology: The correct English term is feces, derived from Latin faeces, meaning dregs or sediment. The form feses has no established etymology in standard references. Because the term lacks a stable meaning, readers should rely on the surrounding context to determine its intended sense.
