ability to clump
Etymology
'agglutinate' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'agglutinare,' where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'glutinare' meant 'to glue.'
'agglutinare' transformed into the French word 'agglutiner,' and eventually became the modern English word 'agglutinate' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to glue together,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to stick together to form a mass.'
