nonce-wd. [f. FRIEND sb. + -ISM.]
1820. Coleridge, Lit. Rem., II. 174. Shakspeare never meant to represent Richard as a vulgar debauchee, but a man with a wantonness of spirit in external show, a feminine friendism, an intensity of woman-like love of those immediately about him, and a mistaking of the delight of being loved by him for a love of him.
