Etymology

The word 'glue' comes from the Old French word 'glu', which has its roots in the Latin 'gluten', meaning 'glue' or 'sticky substance'. This term can be traced back to Proto-Indo-European language, where it is believed to have originated from the root *gสฐlew-, meaning 'to stick'. The act of glueing has been prevalent since ancient times when natural adhesives such as tree resins and animal glues were used in construction and art. Over centuries, the development of synthetic adhesives has expanded the applications of glueing, making it a vital process in modern day industries ranging from woodworking to aerospace manufacturing. The evolution of glueing techniques reflects both advancements in materials science and cultural practices surrounding crafting and construction.
