The quality or state of being flocculent; the presence of fluffy, woolly-textured clumps or masses.
Variant of 'flocculence' using the '-cy' suffix instead of '-ence' (both meaning state or quality), from Latin 'floccus' meaning a tuft of wool.
Both 'flocculence' and 'flocculency' mean the same thing, but 'flocculency' appears more in older scientific texts—it's a great example of how synonyms can drift in and out of fashion!
