American Oxford Thesaurus

mucous

mucous adjective the bug leaves a mucous trail behind it: glutinous, gelatinous, mucilaginous, mucoid, viscous, viscid. WORD NOTE mucous Mucous, an adjective, is not synonymous with the noun mucus. It's worth noting this not only because the two words are fun but because so many people don't know the difference. Mucus means the unmentionable stuff itself. Mucous refers to (1 ) something that makes or secretes mucus, as in The next morning, his mucous membranes were in rocky shape indeed, or (2 ) something that consists of or resembles mucus, as in The mucous consistency of its eggs kept the diner's breakfast trade minimal. — DFW Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
