What does cariño mean?

ExpressionColoquial

love, darling — between friends too

An affectionate way of addressing someone. Between friends it is entirely normal and has nothing romantic about it. One of its commonest uses is just before telling someone what they don't want to hear.

Cariño, que te está diciendo que sí.
The affection first, so the point can land.
