Fraternising is a verb derived from the noun "fraternisation." It refers to the act of engaging in friendly or social interactions, usually between individuals who belong to different groups, organizations, or social classes. The term is commonly used in the context of military or workplace environments, where fraternising often implies the crossing of professional boundaries.
Fraternising involves establishing or fostering connections, camaraderie, or friendships with others, particularly with those whom one is not supposed to associate with on a personal level. This can include interactions that go beyond the scope of official duties or hierarchical relationships, often defying rules, protocols, or customs that aim to maintain a professional distance.
While fraternisation can be seen as a means to promote unity, teamwork, or a positive social atmosphere, it also carries potential risks and concerns. In certain contexts, such as the military, fraternising can compromise discipline, chain of command, or impartial decision-making. It can lead to conflicts of interest, favoritism, or the erosion of professionalism.
In summary, fraternising refers to forming or cultivating personal relationships that exceed professional boundaries, often between individuals from different groups, organizations, or social classes. It encompasses friendly or social interactions that deviate from established norms, rules, or protocols. The term is commonly used in military or workplace contexts to describe instances where individuals engage in non-official connections, potentially compromising professionalism or impartiality.
The word "fraternising" comes from the root word "fraternize", which is derived from the Latin word "frater", meaning "brother". It gained popularity in the English language during the 17th century and refers to the act of socializing or associating with others in a friendly and brotherly manner.
