What does fraternal mean?

Hello!

Fraternal is an adjective and means: "of or like a brother or brothers."

This term is Latin and was also used in late-middle English.

I hope it helps!

If you mean it in terms of family, fraternal means “brother” but if you mean fraternal twins then those are the type of twins that come from two separate eggs (so they’re not identical) and they’re no more similar than regular siblings, they’re just born at the same time.
