fellowmen

One's human brothers

Fellowmen is the plural of fellowman, meaning other human beings considered as sharing a common humanity.

The term appears in moral and religious contexts emphasizing duties toward others: Love thy fellowmen, service to his fellowmen.

The word sounds old-fashioned today, with gender-neutral alternatives like *fellow humans* now preferred.
