agglutinated
Fused into mass
Agglutinated means stuck or clumped together, fused into a mass.
The term appears in technical contexts: agglutinated blood cells have clumped due to antibody reactions; agglutinated grains of sand or sediment have bonded together.
In linguistics, agglutinated languages build words by stringing together distinct meaningful units, each retaining its form—Turkish and Finnish are classic examples.
