   1. A small singing bird.

   2. [From thrust: as we say, a push; a breaking out.]By this name are called small, round, superficial ulcerations, which appear first in the mouth; but as they proceed from the obstruction of the emissaries of the saliva, by the lentor and viscosity of the humour, they may affect every part of the alimentary duct except the thick guts: they are just the same in the inward parts as scabs in the skin, and fall off from the inside of the bowels like a crust: the nearer they approach to a white colour the less dangerous. John Arbuthnot on Diet.

1. thrush

   Thrush is a common medical term referring to an infection caused by a type of fungus or yeast called Candida. This infection often affects the mouth or the throat but can also affect other parts of the body such as the vagina, skin, or digestive tract. In healthy individuals, it is usually not serious, but may cause discomfort. Characteristics of this infection include a white or yellowish coating or patches, usually on the tongue or inner cheeks. It can cause symptoms like soreness, difficulty swallowing, or a persistent cottony feeling in the mouth. In a different context, thrush is also a name for a group of small to medium-sized songbirds known for their melodious song.
