GLUTINOUSadjective
Gluey; viscous; tenacious.
Etymology: glutinex, French, from gluten, Latin.
The cause of all vivification is a gentle and proportionable heat, working upon a glutinous and yielding substance; for the heat doth bring forth spirit in that substance, and the substance being glutinous, produceth two effects: the one, that the spirit is detained, and cannot break forth; the other, that the matter, being gentle and yielding, is driven forwards by the motion of the spirits, after some swelling, into shape and members. Francis Bacon, Natural History, №. 900.
