agglomerated

Gathered into clusters

Agglomerated describes things that have been gathered or clustered into a mass.

The word applies to particles, materials, or objects that clump together rather than remaining separate: agglomerated powder, agglomerated cork.

In manufacturing, agglomerated products are formed by binding smaller pieces into larger units.

The verb agglomerate and noun agglomeration share this sense of accumulation into an irregular whole.
