matter's refusal to commit, gloriously spineless and shamelessly squishing wherever gravity suggests
means A small rounded mass of something soft, sticky, or liquid that has no fixed shape.
from An English word that surfaced in the medieval era, almost certainly born from the mouth rather than the page — one of those imitative "bl-" words (think blob, blubber, bubble, blister) where the sound itself suggests something soft and swollen. It's a cousin of "bleb," an old word for a blister or bubble, and shares that family resemblance of roundness and wobble. No grand Latin pedigree here; just the satisfying plosive of a drop landing.
