coagulate

WOTD – 9 July 2010

Etymology 1

Borrowed from Latin coāgulō, coāgulātus, from coāgulum (“a means of curdling, rennet”), from cōgō (“bring together, gather, collect”), from co- (“together”) + agō (“do, make, drive”). Doublet of quail. Displaced native Middle English irennen, from Old English ġerinnan, but not native curdle.
