From Middle English frendshipe Old English frēondsċiepe Proto-West Germanic *friundskapi friend -ship
friendship (countable and uncountable plural friendships
( uncountable ) condition of being friends .
1570 Horace , A Perambulation of Kent [1] 1596 , page 341 :But (as the Poet ſaith) Malè ſarta gratia, nequicquam coit, & reſcinditur: Friendſhip , that is but euill peeced, will not ioine cloſe, but falleth aſunder againe:
1816 1777 ], James Boswell , quoting Samuel Johnson , The life of Samuel Johnson [ ] [2] 181 :We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.
1960 C. S. Lewis , The Four Loves , HarperCollins, published 2010 , →ISBN →OCLC Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.
