ATTRACTION

In general, attraction is a force that moves one object to another.

  • In physics, attraction may be gravity or electromagnetic force.
  • If, for a person, some object, situation, feeling, etc., or another person, is attractive, this means it/he/she causes enjoyment.
    • In the case another person is attractive we have interpersonal attraction. One form of attractivity, not necessarily sexual, is cuteness. If interpersonal attraction is mutual is may lead to friendship or a romantic relationship.
  • In entertainment, attraction is a theatrical production.
  • In grammar, attraction is the process by which a relative pronoun takes on — that is, is "attracted to" — the case of its antecedent.
