comradery
Bond among allies
Comradery is an alternate spelling of camaraderie—the spirit of friendship and mutual trust among people who spend time together, especially colleagues or teammates.
The spelling reflects how many English speakers pronounce the word, dropping the second *a*: There was real comradery among the crew.
Both spellings are accepted, though camaraderie remains more common in edited writing.
