Confraternization

Definition

The process or result of forming confraternities or establishing confraternal relationships; fraternal bonding.

Etymology

From English 'confraternize' (influenced by French fraterniser) plus the suffix '-ation.' This term emerged in 19th-century English to describe the action of banding together in brotherly fashion.

Kelly Says

Military historians use 'confraternization' rules to prevent enemy soldiers from becoming friends—because once soldiers start treating each other as confraternals, orders to kill each other become psychologically impossible.
