Our syllabus describes frcition as a force that opposes motion.
Friction opposes the relative motion of surfaces in contact -
it opposes slipping of your feet when you walk -
it opposes slippage of the tires as a car accelerates.
When motion of the contact point is thus impeded momentum is transferable into other, allowed motion.
