coagulum
Congealed blood clump
A coagulum is a clotted or curdled mass—blood that has thickened into a clot, milk that has separated into curds, or any substance that has solidified from a liquid state through coagulation.
The term appears mainly in medical and scientific contexts: The surgeon removed a coagulum from the wound.
Plural: coagula or coagulums.
