rapport (countable and uncountable, plural rapports)

1. A relationship of mutual trust and respect. A close and harmonious relationship in which the people or groups concerned understand each other's feelings or ideas and communicate well.

   • 1910, Charles Webster Leadbeater, chapter VII, in The Inner Life, volume I:

     Such a man would almost certainly be pouring out a constant stream of loving thought towards humanity, and this thought would be a real and potent shower of blessing, tending generally towards the spiritual helping of those upon whom it fell; and there is no doubt that the man who was earnestly thinking of or praying to that saint would come into rapport with him, and would therefore draw down upon himself a great deal of that force, though entirely without the knowledge of the saint from whom it came.

2. Relation; proportion; conformity.

   Synonyms: correspondence, accord

   • Sir W. Temple
