Morphology
excrete = ex + crete
The prefix ex- ('out') is recognizable, but the root 'crete' is not a standalone English word so learners may infer the general 'out' meaning but not the precise lexical relation.
Etymology
The word excrete comes from the Latin parts ex- meaning 'out' and -crete meaning 'separate' or 'push out', so it originally meant to 'push out' something from the body. That's why to excrete today is to get rid of waste or fluids from the body.
