Sororize

Fraternize means to behave like a brother. Luke told me that. He said there was no corresponding word that meant to behave like a sister. Sororize, it would have to be, he said. From the Latin. He liked knowing about such details. The derivation of words, curious usages. I use to tease him about being pedantic.

The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood
