What does CRUOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
Clotted blood, especially the dark, jelly-like mass that separates from the watery serum once blood has coagulated.
When blood coagulates outside the body, it separates into a thick, dark clot known as cruor and a pale liquid called serum, a distinction still used in older medical and anatomical writing. The term comes directly from Latin, where it simply meant blood or gore, and it survives today mainly in technical or historical descriptions of wounds and clotting rather than in everyday speech. A pathologist examining a wound or an old medical text describing an injury is far more likely to use cruor than a modern general reader.
