Friendlike

/ˈfrendˌlaɪk/ adjective

Definition

Resembling or having the qualities of a friend; showing friendliness or familiarity.

Etymology

Compound of 'friend' (Old English 'freond') plus '-like' (Old English 'gelic', meaning similar). The suffix '-like' literally means 'having the appearance or nature of.'

Kelly Says

The word friendlike captures something interesting—you can be friendly without being a friend, and you can act friendlike even with strangers, showing that friendship is both a relationship and a performance.
