Explanation

"Fibrinous" refers to something that is related to or resembles fibrin, a protein that our bodies produce when we get a wound. This protein helps in the formation of a blood clot, which is like a plug that stops bleeding. So, when we say something is fibrinous in medicine, it means it has a texture or appearance similar to this clotting protein. It's often used to describe certain types of inflammation or exudates (fluids that leak out of blood vessels into nearby tissues) seen in various diseases.
