- (uncountable) The state of being viscous.
- Synonym: viscousness
- Antonyms: runniness, wateriness, thinness
- Hyponyms: bulk viscosity, elastoviscosity, hyperviscosity, hypoviscosity, gyroviscosity, microviscosity, shear viscosity
- Coordinate terms: fluidity, liquidity, gloopiness, solidity, solidness

- Coordinate term: lubricity
- 2018 February 28, Alexander Klotz, “Microcannons firing Nanobullets”, in Softbites[1]:
- The microcannon was seen moving at about a micron per second, it was about 15 microns long, and the high speed photograph was done in water (density of 1 kg/L, viscosity of about 0.001 pascal seconds).
- 2018 October 3, Youn Young Shim, Rana Mustafa, Jianheng Shen, Kornsulee Ratanapariyanuch, Martin J. T. Reaney, “Composition and Properties of Aquafaba: Water Recovered from Commercially Canned Chickpeas”, in Journal of Visualized Experiments[2], volume 132, , →PMID:
- Aquafaba was recovered from 10 commercial canned chickpea products and correlations among aquafaba composition, density, viscosity and foaming properties were investigated. Proton NMR was used to characterize aquafaba composition before and after ultrafiltration through membranes with different molecular weight cut offs (MWCOs of 3, 10, or 50 kDa).
- (uncountable, psychology) A tendency to prolong interpersonal encounters.
