My excuses for the sensibles stomachs, but:
Eschatology (escatologia in Spanish). The RAE (Royal Academy of Spanish
Language) attribute these meanings to the word:
* Set of beliefs and doctrines concerning the grave life
* Dealin with excreta
A word related is eschatological:
* Belonging or related to excrement and dirt
It's related with ἔσχατος, σκῶρ, σκατός
