Etymology

The word 'sera' originates from the Latin word 'serum,' which means 'whey' or 'the watery part of milk.' In a scientific context, 'serum' refers specifically to the liquid part of blood that remains after coagulation. The plural 'sera' is used in English to denote multiple samples of serum or variants of the term in different contexts. The use of serology, which studies serum and its components, has grown since the late 19th century with the development of immunology. This has led to the creation of vaccines and other therapeutics that utilize sera for treatment against diseases. The term has also found a place in the art world, where it denotes a series of related works, reflecting the diverse applications and meanings of the word throughout history.
