Tending to gather things together; causing things to stick or clump into a mass.
From agglomerate + -ive (Latin -ivus) meaning 'tending to' or 'serving to.' Describes the quality of promoting agglomeration.
In machine learning, agglomerative clustering is a 'bottom-up' algorithm that starts with individual items and merges them together—kind of like watching tiny raindrops combine into bigger and bigger water droplets.
