The word "congealable" is derived from the verb "congeal". The verb "congeal" comes from the Old French word "coaguler" and the Latin word "coagulare", both of which mean "to curdle" or "clot". The Latin word is derived from the noun "coagulum", meaning "a clot". Over time, "congeal" evolved to include the meaning "to solidify or become solid", which gave rise to "congealable" as an adjective to describe something that can be made solid or hardened.
