Etymology

The term 'coagulation' originates from the Latin word 'coagulationem', which means 'a curdling'. The root 'coagula' refers to a curd or mass, describing the action of thickening or clotting. In medical terminology, coagulation processes have been studied for centuries, particularly in relation to blood and wound management. Historically, the understanding of coagulation has advanced from simple observations in anatomy to complex biochemical pathways involving various factors and proteins. The role of platelets and clotting factors in the coagulation cascade was elucidated significantly in the 19th and 20th centuries, leading to modern practices in healthcare for managing bleeding disorders and surgical risks.
