Related Phrases

• Fellow (when used attributively): This word is a component of "fellow member" and can combine with other nouns to indicate shared status (e.g., fellow citizen, fellow worker, fellow student). However, "fellow" alone can also mean a man or boy, or an academic researcher, so context is key.
