What does the root "expect(o)" signify in medical terms?

Enlargement
Away or free from
Cough up
Stomach

The correct answer is: Cough up

The root "expect(o)" in medical terms signifies the action of coughing up. This root is commonly seen in words such as "expectorate" which means to cough or spit out phlegm or mucus from the throat or lungs. Option A, Enlargement, is signified by the prefix "macro-" while option B, Away or free from, is signified by the prefix "ex-". Option D, Stomach, is derived from the Greek word "gaster", which is not related to the root "expect(o)". Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
