vb. n. {Concreting}.]
To unite or coalesce, as separate particles, into a mass or
solid body.

indurate; as, metallic matter concretes into a hard
body; applied to others, it is equivalent to congeal,
thicken, inspissate, coagulate, as in the concretion of
blood. ``The blood of some who died of the plague could
not be made to concrete.'' --Arbuthnot.
