Derived from the Latin 'cohaesionem', a noun of action from the past participle stem of 'cohaerere' (to cohere), combining 'com-' (together) and 'haerere' (to stick). It entered the English language in the 17th century, initially used in physics to describe the sticking together of particles of the same substance before expanding into general linguistic and sociological contexts.
