Serous
Relating to, containing, producing, or resembling serum, a clear, watery fluid that has been separated from its more solid parts. Serous also means relating to, containing, or producing any substance that has a watery consistency. For example, if a nurse observed a clear, watery liquid draining from a patient's wound that is recovering, he/she would likely describe the drainage as serous. Serous comes from the Latin word "serum" meaning "whey," which is the watery part of milk.
