It is said of the attitude of being or showing love in dealing with others on a regular basis; It comes from the Greek allos (other), philein (to love) along with the suffix ia (quality). It is, in short, an act of "loving the other" in which one has a positive attitude towards a group or member, whether or not it is different from the one to which one belongs. The vast majority of humanity has felt allophilia at some point in their lives.
