frictional
Caused by rubbing
Frictional relates to or caused by friction—the resistance encountered when surfaces rub against each other.
In physics, frictional forces oppose motion between contacting objects.
In economics, frictional unemployment describes the temporary joblessness that occurs when workers transition between positions: Some frictional unemployment is inevitable in a healthy economy.
