Adherence: Means

Adherence means "sticking to" or "being faithful to," such as your adherence to your diet even when chocolate cake is around, or students' adherence to school rules — they do not use cell phones or music players in class. The noun adherence is related to the verb adhere, meaning “to stick.” "Adherance" is an incorrect spelling, while "Adherence" is the correct form, denoting the act or process of adhering. 'Adherence' means the act of following rules or instructions, or the state of doing so, as well as the quality of sticking firmly to something. Examples include a company's adherence to safety regulations and a patient's adherence to a medication schedule. Adherence means faithful attachment, devotion, or allegiance to something or someone. It also means the process or condition of adhering, or sticking to something. See synonyms, antonyms, and translations in different languages.
