Morphology

Regular noun formation from the adjective 'viscid' with the productive suffix '-ness', yielding the state or quality 'being viscid'.

Etymology

Viscidness comes from the Latin word viscidus, meaning 'sticky', and shares the same root as viscous and viscosity. Think of thick tree sap or old glue that holds things together — that's why viscidness means the state of being sticky or thick.
