 Adherence \Ad*her"ence\, n. [Cf. F. adh['e]rence, LL.
   adhaerentia.]
   1. The quality or state of adhering.
      [1913 Webster]

   2. The state of being fixed in attachment; fidelity; steady
      attachment; adhesion; as, adherence to a party or to
      opinions.
      [1913 Webster]

   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]
