Meaning: the state of having the desire to touch
Usefulness: 1 ("Textured fabrics induce a terrible tacturiency in me; I find it hard to resist touching velvet." Or a sign in a shop: "Whatever your tacturiency, please resist.")
Logofascination: 1 (Besides being invented by Sir Thomas for one of his more well-known original passages, this lead to an interesting consideration of the difference between a word ending in ence - tacturience - or ency.

the tacturiency of both, made the attrectation of both consequent to the inspection of either; here was it that passion was active, and action passive, they both being overcome by other, and each the conqueror.The full passage is at hirquitalliency.
