ordurous

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'excrement?' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.

'dour sour nasty' is the wordplay.
'nasty' is an anagram indicator.
'dour'+'sour'='doursour'
'doursour' is an anagram of 'ORDUROUS'.

'like' acts as a link.
