Third person singular present tense of coagulate; causes a liquid to thicken or clot into a semi-solid mass.
From Latin coagulatus, past participle of coagulare (to curdle), from coagulum (rennet, curdling agent). The word evolved from describing milk curdling to describing any liquid's transformation into a solid or gel state.
Blood coagulation saved millions of lives once doctors understood it—your body's ability to clot a wound is literally a chemical engineering marvel happening inside your veins.
