glued
Bonded with adhesive
Glued is the past tense of glue—to attach with adhesive.
Beyond literal bonding, glued describes intense focus or fixation: She was glued to her phone, His eyes were glued to the screen.
Something glued in place is stuck fast, whether physically or figuratively: I stood there, glued to the spot.
