Episode: Confrere
Description: Confrere is a noun that refers to a fellow member of a profession.Our word of the day combines the Latin prefix C-O-N with the Latin word frater (FRAH ter). Together they form a synonym of colleague. Here’s an example:Peter is a confrere of mine in the insurance business, so I have great respect for him. But I don’t have great respect for the disingenuous sales tactics he uses. Just because someone is in the same profession doesn’t mean they have great integrity.
