Definition
A lump or thick mass formed when blood thickens and solidifies, or any similar lump of material.
Etymology
From Old English 'clott,' possibly related to Dutch 'klont.' The word may derive from Proto-Germanic roots meaning a lump or ball of something.
Kelly Says
Blood clots are actually lifesaving when they stop bleeding, but dangerous when they form inside blood vessels—it's a perfect example of how the same biological process can be helpful or harmful!
