The answer
EPOXY
What epoxy means
A strong adhesive or coating made from a synthetic resin that hardens when mixed with a chemical hardener, commonly used to bond materials together or create durable finishes.
Where the word comes from
Epoxy comes from the Greek prefix *epi-* (meaning "upon" or "over") combined with *oxy*, from *oxys* (meaning "sharp" or "keen"). The term was coined in the 1930s to describe synthetic resins containing an epoxide group—a three-membered ring of atoms formed when oxygen bridges two carbon atoms. The "sharp" reference hints at the reactive, pointed chemical structure at the molecular level.
