The word "fellow" traces back to Old English feolaga, derived from Old Norse félagi, meaning "one who lays down property (fee) with another," originally referring to a business partner or companion. Over time, it broadened to denote any male peer or member of a shared group. The morpheme fee (property) reflects the idea of shared investment, while low (from Old Norse -lagi, "layer" or "partner") emphasizes collaboration.
