A Spanish or Portuguese term for a companion or comrade, especially in colonial or regional contexts.
From Spanish/Portuguese comrado (comrade), from com- (together) plus rado (related, allied). A term for shared fellowship or military companionship.
This Spanish word for comrade traveled across the Atlantic with conquistadors and colonizers, and while it faded in English, the concept exploded in 19th-century revolutionary movements where 'comrade' became a political rallying cry!
