viscosities
Fluid friction measures
Viscosities is the plural of viscosity, the resistance of a fluid to flow.
Honey has high viscosity; water has low viscosity.
The term appears in technical contexts comparing different fluids or measuring how viscosity changes with temperature: Motor oils are rated by their viscosities at different operating temperatures.
