From Latin adnascens (growing onto), from adnascere (ad- 'to' + nascere 'to be born'). This botanical and anatomical term describes natural adhesion through growth.
In botany, adnascence describes how ivy naturally adheres to walls—not stuck with glue, but literally growing into a united structure, a process that fascinates botanists.
