Morphology

glueyness = gluey (transparent) = glue + y + ness

Formed by the adjective 'gluey' + the noun-forming suffix '-ness', producing the quality of being sticky.

Etymology

Glueyness comes from the simple word glue, a sticky material, and the ending -y meaning 'full of'. That's why Glueyness means the quality of being 'sticky' and likely to stick to surfaces, like syrup on your hands.
