The process of gluing or sticking things together; the state of being joined by an adhesive substance.
From Latin glutinatio, derived from glutinare (to glue). The -tion suffix converts the verb into a noun describing the action or process. This is a rare term in modern usage.
Glutination would have been a key concept in pre-modern chemistry and alchemy—people were fascinated by what made things stick together before we understood molecular bonding.
