"She gave me a sisterly kiss on the cheek" means the kiss was kind and it meant nothing more, and the speaker usually says it a little sadly.

core核心畫面
組成sister + -ly, the ending that means "in the way that this kind of person does" — the same -ly in friendly, motherly, brotherly, and cowardly. Careful: this is a different job from the -ly that turns an adjective into an adverb (slow → slowly), even though it is spelled the same.
