    It means ""to spew forth. "

    Aactually, it doesn’t, but good of you to actually open the link and have a butcher’s. “Vomere” means “to spew forth”. “Vomitorium” is “vomere” + -“orium”, meaning “place of.”

        Yes, it is in the link, I know. That’s how I know you took a look.

        The Latin word vomitorium, plural vomitoria, derives from the verb vomō, vomere, “to spew forth”

        Derives from vomere, “to spew forth”
