rapports
Close mutual understandings
Rapports is the plural of rapport, referring to multiple instances of harmonious connection or mutual understanding between people or groups.
While rapport is often treated as uncountable good rapport with clients, the plural form appears when distinguishing separate relationships: She maintained rapports with colleagues across different departments.
The word emphasizes warm, cooperative relationships rather than merely functional ones.
