🌳Etymology
Origin
Fellowship originated in Middle English from the combination of 'felawe' (companion, colleague) and the suffix '-ship' (state, condition). The word originally denoted the relationship or association between people who share common pursuits or circumstances.
Breakdown
fellow (companion, from Old Norse 'félagi') + -ship (state, condition, status). The suffix '-ship' transforms the noun into an abstract concept representing the quality or state of being fellows together.
