As an adjective, it describes any formant, morpheme, preposition, or grammatical construction indicating the orientation of movement toward a destination.
- To agglutinate — To gather, unite, or clump into compact groups or clusters. In immunology and hematology, it refers to the biochemical process by which cells (such as erythrocytes or bacteria) adhere to each other under the action of specific antibodies, while in linguistics it describes the act of attaching invariable affixes to a word root to express grammatical categories.
- Agglutinative — As an adjective, having the property of agglutinating, binding, or clumping elements into a compact whole; in linguistics, it describes a language where grammatical relationships are expressed by adding invariable affixes to the word root. As a neuter noun, it represents a binding substance used in industry for the physical joining of fine particles.
- Agglutination — The act of agglutinating or clumping and its result; the adhesion, union, or grouping of suspended particles. In immunology, it represents the specific reaction where antibodies cause the clumping of bacteria or erythrocytes, while in linguistics it is the welding of lexical and grammatical morphemes into a single word.
- Agglutinated — As an adjective and participle, having undergone the process of agglutination; cells, bacteria, or particles closely united, adhered, or grouped into clusters under the action of a specific biochemical agent. In linguistics, it describes elements or words formed by welding invariable affixes. As a neuter noun, it represents the product or compact mass resulting from this structural binding process.
- Agglutination — A less frequent linguistic variant of the noun 'aglutinare', used historically or in certain academic works to describe the phenomenon of binding, welding, or clumping of discrete elements. In linguistics, it represents the union of morphemes, while in biology, the grouping of cells or bacteria under the action of antibodies.
- Agglutination — An obsolete, archaic, and literary variant of the noun 'aglutinare', found in scientific, philological, or medical texts from the 19th century. It denotes the exact same phenomenon of structural union, welding, or binding of morphemes or biological cells into a compact whole.
- Agglutinative — Having the character or properties of agglutination; a structural typology specific to languages that construct their grammatical or derivative forms by successively attaching distinct and invariable affixes to a fixed root, without the latter altering its form or base meaning.
- Altaic — Pertaining to the Altai Mountains, their surrounding regions, or the indigenous populations of this zone in Central Asia.

- Autoagglutination — A spontaneous biological or immunological phenomenon in which blood cells (especially erythrocytes or platelets) in a sample cluster and clump together on their own, as a result of the direct reaction between membrane antigens and specific autoantibodies present in their own serum, without the addition of an external reagent; a clinical test relevant for diagnosing autoimmune hemolytic anemias.
