agglutinates
Causes to clump
Agglutinates means clumps or sticks together, forming a mass.
In biology, cells or particles agglutinate when they bind into clusters: The antibody agglutinates the bacteria, making them easier to identify.
The word applies to anything that coheres or causes cohesion.
In linguistics, an agglutinating language builds words by stringing together distinct meaningful units.
