agglutination
In biological and medical contexts, this term describes a physical clumping effect, often used as a diagnostic tool to identify antibodies or blood types. It carries a clinical, objective tone and refers to a visible physical change in a sample.
In linguistics, the term describes a specific morphological structure where prefixes and suffixes are added to a root word like beads on a string. This usage is highly technical and restricted to academic discussions of grammar and language typology, contrasting with fusional languages where morphemes blend together.
