Clustered

/ˈklʌstərd/ adjective

Definition

Gathered or grouped closely together in a bunch or cluster.

Etymology

From 'cluster' (Middle English from Old English 'clyster', from Germanic roots) + '-ed' (past participle suffix). The '-ed' form functions as an adjective.

Kelly Says

The word 'cluster' comes from an old Germanic root meaning to stick or cling together. It's the same root that gives us 'crust' and 'accrue'—all about things sticking and building up together.
