Frankenfriendship

The term 'Frankenfriendship' originated in 2019. It was derived from the old English frēond which is of Germanic origin and combined with the prefix Franken-, a back-formation from Frankenstein. The former also relates to Dutch vriend and German Freund, from an Indo-European root meaning ‘to love’.

Pronunciation : /ˈfraŋkənfrɛn(d)ʃɪp/

Propper noun: Frankenfriendship; plural noun: this is a singular event.

1) This jargon is used to designate somewhat of a peculiar and/or complicated, but euphoric relationship between two persons. The prefix denotes a modified version of something that is seen as unnatural or grotesque, whereas the stem (friendship) refers to a bond of mutual affection, typically one exclusive of family relations. A Frankenfrienship is characterized by feelings of extreme excitement, intensity and blissfulness. Moreover, a combination of Philophobia and Tachophobia is regarded as a characteristic attribute of a conventional Frankenfrienship. That is, the one individual means to say I love you, but is too timid to do so.
-"Although Andre and Milene are not dating, they do indulge in a Frankenfriendship"

Similar: relationship with a 'gross needy koala'; pending indelible relationship.
