Etymology
Scurgere is a noun built from the verb a scurge, meaning to drain or flow out. The verb adds the prefix s-, from Latin ex-, to curge, meaning to flow, which comes from Latin currere, to run. The -ere ending mirrors the long infinitive form, the same pattern that turns a curge into curgere, flow.
