Historical definition
Glutinis tenacitas is mineral resin.
Meaning
The gloss supplies a material identification without specifying a mineral source or method of preparation. The phrase’s reference to tenacity should not obscure the simple identification given after it.
Use in the book
Tenacitas glutinis gives the reverse word order and the same mineral-resin identification. Gluta and Gluten concern different subjects, respectively the efficacy of pitch and viscous bodily matter. Keeping the paired resin entries linked while preserving the other distinctions makes the dictionary’s adhesion vocabulary easier to navigate.
