To glue or stick together; to join with a glutinous or adhesive substance.
From Latin glutinare meaning to glue, with the verb-forming suffix -ate. Related to gluten and glutinous, all stemming from the Latin root gluten (glue).
Glutinate is a real word but sounds almost musical—it's the kind of precise term medieval scholars would have used when describing how substances bond together, before we had modern chemistry to explain adhesion.
