Definition
The act or process of constricting or binding tightly, especially as a surgical or medical technique.
Etymology
From Latin 'arctus' meaning 'tight' or 'narrow,' combined with '-ation' suffix for action or state. Related to the word 'arc' in the sense of something constrained or closed.
Kelly Says
This is a rare medical term you might encounter in historical medical texts—it describes tightening something so much that it gets cut off, which surgeons used to use to prevent bleeding.
