pronunciation | ‘skin-ship
a brief history | This is a pseudo-English word coined by Japanese speakers referencing existing English words; it is not strictly English. Transliterated into Japanese, it is something like スキンシップ; in Korean, which has adopted the word, it is 스킨십. It can connote ‘sharing a bath naked’, but more often has the platonic context.
