Hi colleagues
I'm working on an article on Atherothrombosis. For the Etimology part, I'd like to confirm wheather "thrombos" means lump/clump/milk curd.
...And anything else you can add re: the origin of the word "thrombos" would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Elena

Hi, Elena. I have quoted the ancient word \"thromvos\" for you from the Ancient Greek <> Modern Greek dictionary for you to see that the original Ancient word means exactly what you said.

Thrombousthai<become clotted, curdled
I think you are right, it definitely comes from thrombousthai which means become clotted, curdled.
I am not sure for lump...
Lump corresponds more to ogkos...maybe you could just use Thrombus. Have seen it used, but not very often.
Good Luck

Discussion
Sorry if I didn't formulate my question right. I'd need the origin of the word "thrombos"-- I found that it originates in Greek, meaning "lump". Is this incorrect?
Thanks again :-)
