Morphology
sodality = sodal + ity
Although formed with the nominalizing suffix '-ity', the stem 'sodal' is not a productive or recognizable English base for most learners, so the meaning cannot be reliably derived from known English components.
Etymology
Sodality comes from the Latin word sodalis, meaning 'companion' or 'friend'. So a sodality is like a group of companions — an association of people who share the same job, interest, or purpose.
