Etymology: "Fellas" is simply the plural of "fella," so its history is that of "fellow" carried through a clipped, informal spelling. "Fella" is a colloquial shortening of "fellow," and the plural follows the usual English pattern of adding "s." The shortened form is what gives the word its casual, slangy feel today, where "fellow" would sound more formal.
