The process by which fibrinogen is converted into fibrin, resulting in blood clot formation.
From 'fibrin' with the addition of the suffix '-ation' (indicating a process or state). This term specifically describes the chemical transformation that occurs during coagulation.
Fibrination can happen in seconds—which saved countless lives once doctors understood it, because they could now use thrombin injections to accelerate clotting in surgical bleeding, turning a mysterious process into a controllable tool.
