Glutinosity

/ˌɡluːtɪˈnɒsɪti/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being glutinous; stickiness or viscosity.

Etymology

From Latin glutinositas, derived from glutinosus (sticky). The -ity suffix converts an adjective into a noun describing the quality, as in 'viscosity' or 'density.'

Kelly Says

Glutinosity is a word that sounds like it should be taught in chemistry class—it's the perfect technical term for describing how sticky or thick something is, though scientists now prefer 'viscosity.'
