Clotty

/ˈklɒti/ adjective

Definition

Full of clots or having a tendency to form clots; lumpy or curdled in appearance.

Etymology

From 'clot' plus the suffix '-y' (Old English '-ig'), which transforms nouns into adjectives meaning 'having the quality of' or 'resembling' the noun.

Kelly Says

Old paint, old blood, or improperly stored cream can all become clotty—and it's always gross, but it's also a visible sign of chemistry happening right before your eyes!
