comrade
The term ''comrade'' is used to mean "friend", "mate", "colleague", or "ally", and derives from the Iberian Romance language term ''camarada'',〔(Camarade - Académie française )〕 literally meaning "chamber mate", from Latin ''camera'' "chamber" or "room".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Etymology Dictionary )〕 A political use of the term was inspired by the French Revolution, after which it grew into a form of address between socialists and workers. Ever since the Russian revolution, popular media in the Western World have often associated it with Communism.
== Background ==
Upon abolishing the titles of nobility, and the terms ''monsieur'' and ''madame'' (literally, "my lord" and "my lady"), the revolutionaries employed the term ''citoyen'' for men and ''citoyenne'' for women (both meaning "citizen") to refer to each other. The deposed King Louis XVI, for instance, was referred to as ''Citoyen Louis Capet'' to emphasize his loss of privilege.
When the socialist movement gained momentum in the mid-19th century, socialists elsewhere began to look for a similar egalitarian alternative to terms like "Mister", "Miss", or "Missus". In German, the word ''Kamerad'' had long been used as an affectionate form of address among people linked by some strong common interest, such as a sport, a college, a profession (notably as a soldier), or simply friendship.〔
