plasm
Cell's formative material
Plasm is a suffix-forming element meaning living material or formative substance, appearing in words like protoplasm, cytoplasm, and ectoplasm.
On its own, plasm is rare but may refer to the fluid component of blood (plasma) or any formative material.
The spelling plasma is far more common in standalone use.
