Abenteric
Abenteric is usually used to describe a disease process that is occurring somewhere besides the intestine, when it normally would occur in the intestine. The term, abenteric, is no longer used much in the field of medicine. Abenteric comes the Latin word "ab" meaning "from," and the Greek word "enteron" meaning "intestine." Put the words together and you get "from intestine."
Away from the intestine. The intestine is a tube shaped structure that is part of the digestive tract. Food passes through the intestine and digestion takes place. Digestion is a process in which food is broken down and is absorbed (along with water) into the bloodstream.
