Have you ever thought about the concept of inhesion in relationships?

Not really, what does it mean?

It's about how certain qualities naturally inhesion within a bond between people.

Root Explanation

Inhesion is derived from the Latin root "in-" (meaning in or into) and "haerere" (meaning to stick or cling). The term refers to the state of being stuck or clinging to something.

Memory Tip

Think of something 'sticking' ('haerere') 'into' ('in-') another object — that's why inhesion means the state of being stuck.
