Formed or characterized by agglutination, as a language or a compound. [
1913 Webster]
"In agglutinative languages the union of words may be compared to mechanical compounds, in inflective languages to chemical compounds."
[1913 Webster]
"Cf. man-kind, heir-loom, war-like, which are agglutinative compounds. The Finnish, Hungarian, Turkish, the Tamul, etc., are agglutinative languages."
[1913 Webster]

[1913 Webster]
