A friend is somebody who gives asking for nothing in return.

A friend is somebody who wants to see you happy.

A friend tells you the truth EVEN if it's not what you want to hear.


For real, those are all attributes of a true blue friend.

[Middle English, from Old English frēond.]

friend'less adj.
friend'less·ness n.
WORD HISTORY A friend is a lover, literally. The relationship between Latin amīcus “friend” and amō “I love” is clear, as is the relationship between Greek philos “friend” and phileō “I love.” In English, though, we have to go back a millennium before we see the verb related to friend. At that time, frēond, the Old English word for “friend,” was simply the present participle of the verb frēon, “to love.” The Germanic root behind this verb is *frī–, which meant “to like, love, be friendly to.” Closely linked to these concepts is that of “peace,” and in fact Germanic made a noun from this root, *frithu–, meaning exactly that. Ultimately descended from this noun are the personal names Frederick, “peaceful ruler,” and Siegfried, ”victory peace.” The root also shows up in the name of the Germanic deity Frigg, the goddess of love, who lives on today in the word Friday, “day of Frigg,” from an ancient translation of Latin Veneris diēs, “day of Venus.”

My definition of friend begins with connection. If I don't have a connection with someone, I don't try and fake the funk cool My closest friends are those whom I feel kinship with, those I can tell all my truths to. It seems to me that it's not always a 2 way street tho....
