But I suspect it may have a different meaning:

verbformal
1.
specify as not included in a category or group; exclude.
"he excepted from his criticism a handful of distinguished writers"
synonyms:	exclude, omit, leave out, count out, disregard; exempt
"lawyers are all crooks, present company excepted"
