Lint: lymph-fluid

"As blood passes through capillary beds a significant proportion of the plasma is filtered into the extracellular space. Most of this filtered tissue fluid (a.k.a. interstitial fluid) passes into lymphatic capillaries and is returned by the lymphatics to the systemic circulation."

"In the postprandial state, aqueous-insoluble fats pass from the gut into their lymphatics, and thence to the liver. Thus the gastrointestinal and hepatic lymph takes on a milky colouration due to its high fat concentration (>0.01 g/mL triglycerides as chylomicrons), and is known as chyle."

"The water, glucose and electrolyte concentrations of the lymph in the initial lymphatics are broadly similar to plasma; however the concentrations of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium ions are mildly decreased, whilst chloride and bicarbonate ions are mildly elevated 5,6."

"The term lymph with its medical meaning first appears in 1725; prior to this it was a synonym of water. The word derives from the Latin term lympha meaning nymph or in a poetic sense, clear water. This was derived from the Greek term "νυμφη" (nymphe), a god-like spirit of a natural spring 7,8."
