Discharge from Mediterranean island? (7)

I believe the answer is:

excrete

'discharge' is the definition.
(I know that excrete is a type of discharge)

'from mediterranean island?' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'ex' ('from' in Latin).
'mediterranean island?' becomes 'crete' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ex'+'crete'='EXCRETE'

(Other definitions for excrete that I've seen before include "Expel (waste) from the body" , "Eliminate (from the body)" , "Defecate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
