vesiculating
[ vɛsɪˈkjuːleɪtɪŋ ]
medical terminology
Vesiculating refers to the process of forming vesicles, which are small fluid-filled sacs within or on the surface of a tissue. This term is often used in a medical or biological context to describe processes such as the formation of blisters on the skin as a result of disease or injury, or the development of vesicles in cells during certain physiological reactions. Vesiculating can also be relevant in discussions of viral infections, where viruses cause cells to form vesicles filled with viral particles.
Synonyms
blistering, bubble formation, cyst formation.
Examples of usage
- The skin began vesiculating after the allergic reaction.
- During the infection, the cells were observed vesiculating.
- The vesiculating process was evident in the laboratory samples.

Etymology
The term 'vesiculate' is derived from the Latin word 'vesicula', meaning 'small blister'. This Latin term itself comes from 'vesica', which means 'bladder' or 'sac'. The term has been in use since the early 18th century and has evolved primarily within the fields of medicine and biology. Vesicles can be formed due to a variety of causes, including cellular processes such as exocytosis, where materials are expelled from a cell, or due to pathological conditions such as infections or inflammatory responses. The concept has become essential in understanding various biological processes and the impact of diseases on the body.
