Clot   /klɑt/   Listen
noun
Clot  n.  A concretion or coagulation; esp. a soft, slimy, coagulated mass, as of blood; a coagulum. "Clots of pory gore." "Doth bake the egg into clots as if it began to poach."

verb
Clot  v. t.  To form into, or cover with, clots; to cause to coagulate; to make into a slimy mass.


Clot  v. i.  (past & past part. clotted; pres. part. clotting)  To concrete, coagulate, or thicken, as soft or fluid matter by evaporation; to become a clot or clod.
