Context #1 | Adjective

medical condition

Coagulated refers to a state where a liquid, typically blood, has changed from a fluid to a solid or semi-solid state. This process is vital for stopping bleeding and is part of the body's natural healing mechanism. When blood coagulates, platelets clump together and form a stable structure that prevents excessive blood loss. Coagulation can be triggered by various factors, including injury or the presence of certain chemicals. In a broader sense, coagulation can also describe the thickening or curdling of other liquids.

Synonyms

clotted, curdled, thickened

Examples of usage

  • The coagulated blood formed a scab over the wound.
  • After sitting for a time, the milk had coagulated into curds.
  • In surgical procedures, careful attention is paid to ensuring that blood does not coagulate too quickly.
  • The soup coagulated after being left out too long.

Etymology

The word 'coagulated' originates from the Latin term 'coagulum', which means 'curd' or 'clot'. The prefix 'co-' means 'together' or 'with', combined with 'agere', meaning 'to drive' or 'to act'. The concept of coagulation is used in both medical and culinary contexts, reflecting its importance in various processes, such as blood clotting and cheese making. Over centuries, the term has evolved in usage from its early roots in Latin to widely describe the transition from a liquid to a solid or semi-solid state in numerous fields, including biology, chemistry, and gastronomy. Its usage in modern medicine emphasizes the biological processes involved in healing and the body's response to injury. Coagulation is crucial not just in the context of blood physiology but also in understanding processes like the formation of clots, which has significant implications for health and medical treatments.
