Definition

From comrade + -ry. Doublet of camaraderie, which likely also influenced the term. Both ultimately derive from Latin camera (“room, chamber”).

It was here he had first met Fallon, and he remembered the undisguised approval in the Irishman's voice and the firm grip of the hand that welcomed him into the comradery of the North-men as he stood, faint from hunger and weary from exertion, staring dully down at the misshapen carcass of Diablesse. — The Promise: A Tale of the Great Northwest, James B. (James Beardsley) Hendryx
"You folks get along and stop that taxi meter you've got running on me," Mr. Vandeford said, answering the sally with a laugh; but it surprised him that there was a cold space in his vitals at the insult that the little trollop handed him with such comradery, guiltless of any knowledge that it was an insult. — Blue-grass and Broadway, Maria Thompson Daviess
