Plural of granulation; small granules or grain-like structures, especially those formed during a process or appearing in tissues.
From 'granulation' (the process of granulating, or a small granule that forms), from Latin 'granulatio.' Common in medical terminology since the 18th century.
Granulations are a sign of healthy wound healing in medicine—when doctors see 'granulation tissue' forming with those characteristic red bumps, it means the body is properly rebuilding damaged skin and vessels.
