Temple.
En` rap`port" ([aum]N` r[.a]`p[^o]r") [F.], in accord, harmony, or sympathy; having a mutual, especially a private, understanding; in mesmerism, in that relation of sympathy which permits influence or communication.
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
1660s, "reference, relation, relationship," from French rapport "bearing, yield, produce; harmony, agreement, intercourse," back-formation from rapporter "bring back; refer to," from re- "again" (see re-) + apporter "to bring," from Latin apportare "to bring," from ad- "to" (see ad-) + portare "to carry" (see port (n.1)).\n
\nPsychological meaning "intense harmonious accord," as between therapist and patient, is first attested 1894, though the word had been used in a very similar sense with reference to mesmerism from 1845 (first recorded in Poe). See also report (n.). Johnson frowns on the word and credits its use in English to Sir William Temple, naturalizer of French terms, who did use it but was not the first to do so.

Rapport is an aspect of unconscious human interaction.
Rapport may also refer to:
- Rapport (NLP), a set of techniques for personal development

- Rapport (television programme), a television news programme from Sweden
- Rapport (software), computer security software

Rapport is an Afrikaans-language weekly newspaper (released on Sundays) in South Africa. Its head office is in Johannesburg.
Rapport is a close and harmonious relationship in which the people or groups concerned understand each other's feelings or ideas and communicate well.
The word stems from the old French verb rapporter which means literally to carry something back; and, in the sense of how people relate to each other means that what one person sends out the other sends back. For example, they may realize that they share similar values, beliefs, knowledge, or behaviors around politics, music or sports.
There are a number of techniques that are supposed to be beneficial in building rapport such as: matching your body language (i.e., posture, gesture, etc.); maintaining eye contact; and matching breathing rhythm.
A classic if unusual example of rapport can be found in the book Uncommon Therapy by Jay Haley, about the psychotherapeutic intervention techniques of Milton Erickson. Erickson developed the ability to enter the world view of his patients and, from that vantage point (having established rapport), he was able to make extremely effective interventions (to help his patients overcome life problems). Some psychiatrists and psychoanalysts argue that without establishing a proper rapport the sessions don't have the same beneficial effects on the patients, as they won't be as open and communicative.
Rapport ("Report") is one of the two main news programmes from the Swedish television broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT).
Rapport's main bulletin is broadcast every day at 19:30 on SVT1. It runs for thirty minutes every day except Saturday, when it runs for fifteen minutes. Ever since the 1970s, it has been the most watched news bulletin in Sweden.
The title is also used for most other news bulletins on SVT. On weekdays in 2014, Rapport is broadcast every half-hour between 06:00 and 09:30 (as part of Gomorron Sverige), 18:00 and 19:30 on SVT1, 09:00, 16:00, and every half-hour between 01:00 and 05:30 on SVT2. On weekends, only the prime time and late night editions are broadcast.
The 19:30 bulletin has special presenters (since 2005 they are Katarina Sandström, Lisbeth Åkerman and Morgan Olofsson). These presenters usually only host the 19:30 bulletin (except on weekends when they can also be seen hosting the late night edition). In the summer, both Aktuellt and Rapport 19:30 is frequently hosted by temps. The other editions are hosted by a larger team of presenters working in different time shifts.
A feature of Rapport at 19:30 is that the bulletin consists solely of filmed reports and some telegrams with almost no studio interviews allowed.
