Answer:

viscosity is the state of being thick, sticky, and semifluid in consistency, due to internal friction.

"cooling the fluid raises its viscosity"

a quantity expressing the magnitude of internal friction, as measured by the force per unit area resisting a flow in which parallel layers unit distance apart have unit speed relative to one another.

plural noun: viscosities

"silicone oils can be obtained with different viscosities"

Explanation:

The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of "thickness": for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water. hope this helps you :)
