What does "diur" or "diruet" signify?
Removal of fluid
Sugar; blood sugar
Cough up
Vomiting
The correct answer is: Removal of fluid
The words "diur" and "diruet" come from the Latin root "diuret-" which means to remove fluid or increase the production of urine. This may explain why option A is the correct answer. Option B, "sugar; blood sugar", is a possible distractor as diabetes, which involves an inability to properly regulate blood sugar levels, can sometimes cause excess urination. Option C, "cough up", may be related to the word "expectorate" which means to expel fluid or phlegm from the lungs. However, this is not the specific meaning of "diur" or "diruet". Option D, "vomiting", may also be related to the word "emesis" which means to expel the contents of the stomach through the mouth. Again, while vomiting can lead to dehydration and the production of urine, it is not the specific meaning of the given words.
