Echo-ship
/ˈɛkəʊ-ʃɪp/ noun
1. A lingering emotional or physical connection between former romantic partners who are no longer together, often resurfacing out of nostalgia, comfort, or unresolved feelings.
2. A relationship that exists only as an echo of what once was — familiar but hollow, repeating old patterns without real commitment or future.
“It wasn’t love anymore, just an echo-ship — two people haunted by their own history.”
Etymology:
From echo (a reflection or repetition of sound) + relationship. Coined to describe the emotional “after-sound” of a past romance that continues to reverberate even after it has officially ended.
