viscosity

[verb]

The measurement of a fluid's resistance to shear or flow. Highly viscous fluids resist motion due to their molecular composition that produce internal friction. Honey, for example, is a fluid with a high viscosity. Low viscosity fluids, conversely, flow easily because their molecular composition results in very little friction.
