Compadres is the plural of compadre, a Spanish borrowing meaning close friends or companions.
The singular compadre literally means co-father—the relationship between a child's father and godfather—but in English it simply means buddy or pal, often with a warm, masculine tone: He's out with his compadres from the old neighborhood.
