Glandulation

/ɡlændjʊˈleɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The formation, development, or condition of glands; the process of forming glandular structures.

Etymology

From glandula + -tion (noun suffix indicating action or process). Creates an abstract noun describing glandular development or the state of being glandular.

Kelly Says

The -tion suffix is how English turns verbs and adjectives into processable concepts—'glandulation' takes the concrete fact of glands and turns it into something you can study and measure.
