What does VISCID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
formal
Thick and sticky, with a ropy consistency that makes it cling to whatever it touches.
Viscid describes a liquid or coating that does not flow freely but clings and stretches, like tree sap, raw egg white or thick glue. It comes from the Latin word for birdlime, a sticky substance once smeared on twigs to catch small birds. Writers in science and nature use viscid for secretions such as those on certain plant leaves or insect traps, and it sits close in meaning to viscous.
