What Wikipedia says

Philia (; from Ancient Greek φιλία (philía)) is one of the four ancient Greek words for love, alongside storge, agape and eros. In Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, philia is commonly translated as friendship or affection. Its conceptual opposite is phobia, which denotes fear or aversion.
