'comrade' originates from the Spanish word 'camarada,' where 'cámara' meant 'chamber' or 'room.'

'camarada' transformed into the French word 'camarade,' and eventually became the modern English word 'comrade' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'roommate' or 'chamber fellow,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'companion' or 'fellow member.'
