Fibrinogenous

/ˌfɪbrɪˈnɑːdʒənəs/ adjective

Definition

Of, relating to, or producing fibrinogen; characterized by or containing fibrinogen.

Etymology

From 'fibrinogen' combined with the suffix '-ous' (meaning having the quality of or full of). The '-ous' ending allows Latin-based nouns to become adjectives describing their characteristics.

Kelly Says

Fibrinogenous exudates in inflammation look different from other types under the microscope—they appear as delicate networks, and pathologists can read these patterns to understand what kind of inflammatory response the body is mounting.
