Morphology

comradeship = comrade (transparent) = comrade + ship

Standard noun formation from 'comrade' with the productive suffix '-ship' marking the state or quality of being comrades, so the meaning is directly compositional.

Etymology

Comradeship comes from comrade, which first meant someone you 'share' a 'room' with — from an old word like camera meaning 'chamber' or 'room'. So comradeship is the friendship and trust that grows from living or working closely together.
