Matter that has been liquefied through heating; the liquid result of colliquation or melting.
From Latin 'colliquamentum,' the noun form of 'colliquare' (to melt together). This technical term appears in older alchemical and medical texts describing liquefied substances.
Medieval alchemists tracked every transformation in their furnaces, calling the runny results 'colliquament'—they believed these liquids might contain the secrets of transmutation or the essence of matter itself.
