sibling love

Bond between brothers

Sibling love is the affection shared between brothers and sisters.

The bond combines intimacy, rivalry, and shared history in ways distinct from other relationships: Despite their constant bickering, their sibling love was obvious.

The phrase sometimes appears euphemistically for incest, though this usage is relatively uncommon.
