1.
relationship; relatedness; nature of a connection
The nature or quality of how two or more people, things, or ideas are connected. Compared with 関係, it emphasizes the character and structure of a connection rather than the mere fact that one exists, and is common in academic, business, and interpersonal contexts.
Formed from 関係 (relation) + the suffix 性 (-ness, quality of). Names the character or structure of a connection, so it pairs naturally with words describing quality or complexity.
Common collocations

Similar words
