Etymology: "Camaraderies" is the plural of "camaraderie," which English borrowed from French, where it is built on "camarade," or comrade. That French word came from Spanish "camarada," meaning a companion who shares your room, and it traces back to Latin "camera," meaning room or chamber. A comrade was originally a roommate, and the bond of living under one roof gave the word its sense of friendship.
