fellow
word
Definition
A fellow is a man or person, often referred to in a casual or friendly way. It can also mean someone who belongs to the same group, works with you, or shares an activity with you.
Usage & Nuances
Often sounds slightly old-fashioned or warm in everyday English: 'a nice fellow', 'the poor fellow'. In modern speech, 'guy' is more common for a random man. Before a noun, 'fellow' means 'sharing the same role or group', as in 'fellow students' or 'fellow workers'. It can also be an academic title in contexts like 'research fellow'.
