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
