Progressive Hints

Definition: "Sticky stuff"
This is a deletion - look for a word that has some letters removed to create the answer.
Take a word meaning 'satisfactory' and remove part of it ('not entirely' suggests incomplete). The word you're looking for rhymes with 'hood'.
Answer: GOO | Start with GOOD (satisfactory), then remove the D to make it 'not entirely' - GOO (sticky stuff)
