New Word

This morning, I learned of the passing of a cousin in Guyana. I may be traveling soon for her funeral. R.I.P. Sonia.

One of yesterday's posts highlighted words that were created/formed by combining two words. Culturability and Amerindian. The combined word is called a portmanteau of the two words (Amerindian is a portmanteau of "American Indian")

The word for today is: agglutinate, a word used in Biology.

One definition of the word is: to unite or combine into a group. Link: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/agglutination

I also found a more complicated definition: https://www.britannica.com/topic/agglutination-grammar. This definition explains that words can be formed by agglutination.

Here is an interesting tidbit:
