Word of the Day: Albumen

al·bu·men^[1]
n.

1. The white of an egg, which consists mainly of albumin dissolved in water.
2. See albumin.

[Latin albmen, from albus, white; see albho- in Indo-European roots.]

Let’s use it in a sentence, shall we?

The albumen was very viscous and reminded me of snot.

Class dismissed.
