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.
