The word "intimacy" stems from the Latin intimatus,
to make something known to someone else. (Another derivation
is the verb "intimate," which originally meant "to notify.")
In its original meaning, in other words, intimacy did not mean
emotional closeness, but the willingness to pass on honest information.
