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.”
[1913 Webster]
