word
Definition
A connection or association between two or more people, groups, or things. It often refers to emotional or romantic connections, but can also mean any way in which people or things are linked together.
Usage & Nuances
Can refer to romantic, family, friendship, business, or other connections—context matters. Common collocations: 'a close relationship', 'in a relationship', 'build a relationship'. Do not confuse with 'relation' (which is more about general connections or family members).
