Clingier

/ˈklɪŋiər/ adjective

Definition

More inclined to cling or stick; more clingy in nature or behavior.

Etymology

Comparative form of 'clingy' (from 'cling' + '-y' suffix) with the comparative suffix '-er', showing increased degree of the quality.

Kelly Says

Clingier materials like certain fabrics or adhesives have been scientifically studied for their properties—some plastics become clingier when heated because their molecules move more freely and create better contact!
