fellowshipn. Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; perhaps originally modelled on an early Scandinavian lexical item. Etymons: fellow n., -ship suffix. Etymology: < fellow n. + -ship suffix, perhaps originally after early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic félagskapr).The β. , γ. , and δ. forms show reduction of the final diphthong in the first element. The ε. forms reflect elision of the final diphthong in the first element. Earlier currency (in Old English) is probably implied by quots. c12751, c12752 at sense 2b, which are late East Anglian copies of authentic wills, the earlier of which has a composition date of 1043–5.
