Flocs

/flɒks/ noun

Definition

Plural of floc; small clumps or aggregates of particles suspended in liquid, commonly found in chemistry and water treatment.

Etymology

From 'flocculus' (a small lock of wool), shortened to 'floc' in modern scientific use. The plural '-s' is standard English.

Kelly Says

Flocs are the little clumps that form when you're cleaning water—they're why water treatment plants use chemicals to make particles clump together so they sink and get filtered out!
