There is some evidence that in the middle of the 19th century affiliate was used in the U.S. in the sense of "associate, fraternize." Thornton 1939 defines it as "Erroneously used instead of fraternize." Perhaps Thornton considered the use a bit below the salt, but the Dictionary of American English did not stigmatize it. The use was also noted in H. W. Horwill's An Anglo-American Interpreter (1939). The sense does not appear to be current, at least in print. |
