Vitreous
From Frenchm from Latin, meaning glass like. However, I do not understand how this morphed into vitreous humor. Huh?

Re: Vitreous
Is it maybe what gives one a glassy look when completely bored?

Re: Vitreous
Vitreous humour is transparent, so I would have thought were the reasons behind calling it that?
