Etymology

The word 'gluing' originates from the Old French word 'glu', which means 'glue or sticky substance'. This, in turn, derives from the Latin word 'gluten', meaning 'glue, binder, or bond'. The transition of the word into English occurred in the Middle Ages as adhesives became increasingly important in various crafts and trades. Historically, glues were made from natural substances such as animal hide, milk, or plant resins. With the advent of modern chemistry, synthetic adhesives were developed, vastly expanding the types and applications of gluing in construction, manufacturing, and household uses. As techniques and materials evolved, so did the terminology, with 'gluing' becoming a standard term in various industries to describe the process of applying adhesive for bonding materials.
