clottings
Forming solid lumps
Clottings are instances of clot formation—the process by which liquid, especially blood, thickens into a semisolid mass.
The term appears in medical contexts discussing multiple clotting events: The patient experienced several clottings over the course of treatment.
Also used for any coagulation or lumping together of substances.
