How to pronounce coagulate (audio)

Dictionary definition of coagulate

To thicken or solidify a liquid, often through a chemical or biological process.
"Blood can coagulate quickly in response to a deep cut or injury."

Detailed meaning of coagulate

This can occur when particles or molecules in the liquid come together to form a larger, more complex structure. In the context of blood, coagulation refers to the process by which blood clots or thickens to stop bleeding from a wound. In other applications, such as cooking, coagulation can refer to the process of thickening a liquid through the use of heat or the addition of a coagulant, such as lemon juice or vinegar. Coagulation can also be used in a more abstract sense, such as when ideas or concepts come together to form a unified whole.

History and etymology of coagulate

The verb 'coagulate' has its roots in Latin, specifically from the word 'coagulare,' which means 'to curdle' or 'to cause to congeal.' This Latin term is derived from 'coagulum,' which signifies a 'clot' or a 'curd.' The etymology of 'coagulate' underscores the process of thickening or solidifying a liquid, often through a chemical or biological reaction that causes particles or components to come together and form a cohesive mass, much like the curdling of milk to create cheese. Therefore, 'coagulate' aptly describes the transformation of a liquid into a thicker or more solid state, emphasizing the idea of consolidation or clotting in the context of fluids.
