The quality or state of resembling glue in consistency or stickiness.
Derived from 'gluelike' plus the Old English suffix '-ness,' which creates abstract nouns from adjectives and has been used in English since before 1000 CE.
English loves stacking suffixes like this—'glue' + '-like' + '-ness' = a three-layer word that expresses an increasingly abstract idea, something other languages often need whole phrases to convey.
