strangers who become the reason you survive the thing you signed up for alone
means A bond of shared belonging and mutual support among companions, or a community formed by it — and, in academia, a funded position or grant for study or research.
from Old English 'feolaga,' a 'fellow,' borrowed from Old Norse 'felagi' — literally a 'fee-layer,' one who lays down 'fé' (money, cattle, property) into a common pot. A fellow was your business partner, the person who put their stake beside yours. Add the suffix '-ship' (Old English '-scipe,' the same that gives us friendship and hardship, meaning a state or condition), and 'fellowship' is the condition of being partners who've thrown their lot in together. The academic sense — a stipend, then the rank that comes with it — grew from that same root of shared funds, a literal 'laying-down' of money for a scholar.
