[Cf. F. adh['e]rence, LL.
adhaerentia.]
1. The quality or state of adhering.
2. The state of being fixed in attachment; fidelity; steady
attachment; adhesion; as, adherence to a party or to
opinions.
Syn: {Adherence}, {Adhesion}.
Usage: These words, which were once freely interchanged, are
now almost entirely separated. Adherence is no longer
used to denote physical union, but is applied, to
mental states or habits; as, a strict adherence to
one's duty; close adherence to the argument, etc.
Adhesion is now confined chiefly to the physical
sense, except in the phrase ``To give in one's
adhesion to a cause or a party.''
