Relating to or characterized by coherence; tending to cohere or stick together.
From cohere + -etic suffix (relating to or characterized by). This is a rare technical term that developed in specialized scientific vocabularies for describing properties of materials or ideas.
Polymer chemists use 'coheretic' to describe how molecules link into chains—understanding these properties was crucial to inventing plastics, which is why chemistry vocabulary can reveal the secret history of everyday stuff.
