"excrudescent"

Looks to me like "excrescent" + "recrudescent".

Probably favored by evocation of "excrement" and "crude", I suppose.

I find three examples of "excrudescence" at N'archive, from 1923
(apparently meaning "excess"), from 1936 (apparently meaning "outbreak",
could mean "excess"), and from 1947 (apparently meaning "outbreak").
