Rapport (n)

Rapport - Relationship, especially one of mutual trust or emotional affinity.

I always thought that this word had something to do with the way someone was viewed by others. Now that I think about it more, I probably knew the real meaning of the word if it was used correctly, but I never was really certain of it, obviously, since I misunderstood a sentence in my Speech book because of it.

Now I know that to have a "good rapport" with another person simply means that you have a relationship that's held in high esteem (aka a "good" relationship).
