ichor
Olympian vein contents
Ichor is the fluid that flows in the veins of gods in Greek mythology—divine blood, distinct from mortal blood.
By extension, ichor refers to any ethereal or rarefied fluid.
In medical contexts, ichor is the watery, acrid discharge from a wound or ulcer: The wound oozed a thin ichor.
