1. The quality of being viscid.
   • 1923, Ernest Bramah, The Eyes of Max Carrados:

     By heavens, Wynn, there, on the sixth step up, was a bright red patch! I am not squeamish; I cleared four steps at a stride, and stooping down I dipped my finger into the stuff and felt its slippery viscidity against my thumb.
