Morphology

comradery = comrade (transparent) = comrade + ery

Formed transparently from 'comrade' + suffix '-ery' indicating a state or quality; the meaning 'spirit of comradeship' is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

Comradery comes from comrade, which originally came from a word like camera meaning 'chamber' or 'room', so a comrade was someone who shared a room. That's why comradery means the trust and friendship that grows when people live or work closely together.
