かんけいせい
noun
relationship; relatedness; connectedness
abstract
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(かんけい), 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.
二人(ふたり)関係性(かんけいせい)複雑(ふくざつ)だ。
The relationship between the two of them is complicated.
I study the relationship between language and culture.
When relationships within the team improve, work efficiency rises as well.

Formed from 関係(かんけい) (relation) + the suffix (せい) (-ness, quality of). Names the character or structure of a connection, so it pairs naturally with words describing quality or complexity.
