    The egg white is the common name for the clear liquid (also called albumen or ovalbumin or glair) contained within an egg. It is the cytoplasm of the egg, which until fertilization is a single cell. It consists mainly of about 10% proteins dissolved in water. Its primary purpose is to protect the egg yolk and also to provide additional nutrition for the growth of the embryo, as it is rich in proteins and is of high nutritional value. Unlike the egg yolk, it contains little fat.

    answer your question?

    When you cook (fry, boil, poach, etc.) the clear liquid it becomes white. Hence the name.
