粘り|ねばりnebari[3]odaka (tail-high)

1. nounstickiness; viscosity
   次つぎには、これらのやの上うえに絹きぬの糸いとをさらに張はり、巣すの中央ちゅうおうに滑なめらかで、粘ねばりのない部分ぶぶんを残のこす。↗

   Then it draws more silky lines across these spokes, leaving a smooth, non-sticky patch in the middle of the web.
2. nountenacity; persistence

• Synonym粘性ねんせいNeutralTechnical term for viscosity or stickiness, common in physics and chemistry; no figurative sense of persistence like 「粘り」.
• Synonym粘着性ねんちゃくせいNeutralAdhesiveness, close in meaning to 「粘着力」 and technical in flavor; in typical use it describes physical stickiness rather than the staying power of 「粘り」.
• Related粘着力ねんちゃくりょくNeutralAdhesive strength, as of tape or glue, mostly in product and material descriptions; it refers to physical stickiness only and cannot stand in for 「粘り」 as tenacity.
• Antonym弱さよわさNeutralWeakness; stands opposite the perseverance side of 「粘り」.
• Antonym脆さNeutralBrittleness or fragility — the direct opposite of the toughness sense of 「粘り」.

Use 「粘り」 for both stickiness and figurative tenacity, as in 「粘りのある納豆」 and 「粘り強い」. For technical viscosity or adhesion, choose 「粘性」, 「粘着力」 or 「粘着性」. The opposites are 「脆さ」 (fragility) and 「弱さ」 (weakness).
