fraternal
Brotherly, not identical
Fraternal means brotherly or relating to brothers.
A fraternal bond exists between people who share close ties, whether or not they're related by blood.
Fraternal organizations like lodges and fraternities bring members together in brotherhood.
Fraternal twins develop from separate eggs, unlike identical twins—they're siblings who happen to share a womb.
The word often implies warm camaraderie: fraternal greetings, fraternal rivalry.
