The word for today is…

amicable (adjective):

characterized by friendly goodwill

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/amicable?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : Amicable comes from Latin amicabilis, meaning “friendly,” and amare, “to feel affection for” or “to love.” Am?re has a number of English descendants, including amiable (“friendly, sociable, and congenial”), amorous (“strongly moved by love and especially sexual love”), and amateur, which, though it might seem surprising, is related to am?re by way of the Latin am?tor, which means “lover” as well as “enthusiastic admirer” and “devotee.”
