gum
Sticky tree secretion
Gum is a sticky substance that comes from certain trees and plants, used in adhesives and food.
Chewing gum is a rubbery confection meant to be chewed but not swallowed: She popped a piece of gum in her mouth.
The gums are the firm pink tissue surrounding the teeth.
To gum something is to stick it with adhesive, or to chew without teeth: The baby gummed the cracker.
To gum up the works is to cause something to malfunction or slow down.
