fellow

fellow
fellow c.1200, from O.E. feolaga "fellow, partner," from O.N. felagi, from fe "money" (see FEE (Cf. fee)) + verbal base denoting "lay" (see LAY (Cf. lay) (v.)). Sense is of "one who puts down money with another in a joint venture." Used familiarly since mid-15c. for "man, male person," but not etymologically masculine. University senses (mid-15c.), corresponding to L. socius) evolved from notion of "one of the corporation who constitute a college" and who are paid from its revenues. First record of fellow-traveler in sense of "one who sympathizes with the Communist movement but is not a party member," is from 1936, translating Rus. poputchik. The literal sense is attested in English from 1610s.
