SUPPURATE Meaning and Definition

1. Suppurate is a verb that describes the process of a wound or infection forming pus. When a wound or infection suppurates, it means that it is producing or discharging pus, which is a thick, yellowish-white fluid made up of dead cells, bacteria, and tissue debris that accumulates in infected or damaged areas of the body as the immune system works to fight off the infection.

   The term "suppurate" is often used in medical contexts to describe the progression of certain infections or wounds. It indicates the stage at which the body's immune response has triggered the formation of pus, which is a natural mechanism to help contain and eliminate bacterial or dead tissue.

   Suppuration can occur in various types of injuries or infections, such as abscesses, boils, or even surgical wounds. The process typically involves the accumulation of inflammatory cells, which release substances that cause the nearby tissues to break down and liquefy. As this process continues, the body creates a pocket or channel to drain the pus, relieving pressure and allowing the wound to heal.

   Prompt and appropriate medical treatment is often necessary when a wound or infection suppurates. Treatment may involve cleaning and dressing the wound or prescribing antibiotics to combat the infection. If left untreated, a suppurating wound or infection may lead to more severe complications or the spread of the infection to other parts of the body.

Etymology of SUPPURATE

The word "suppurate" comes from the Latin word "suppuratus", which is the past participle of the verb "suppurare". In Latin, "suppurare" is derived from the combination of the prefix "su-" (meaning "under" or "below") and "purare" (meaning "to make pure" or "to cleanse"). Thus, the etymology of "suppurate" suggests a process of cleansing or making pure from beneath, particularly in reference to the discharge of pus from an infected wound.
