(Cambridge University) A student at Cambridge University who commons, or dines, at the Fellows' table..
There are to this day fellow-commoners at Queens, and surely such a distinguished commoner as Fuller would have been allowed to remain on that foundation, in which he had spent seven years, in this new capacity. The expense would have been about the same, and the only way in which I can account for his migration is either pique at being passed over, or the friendship of so famed a theologian as Dr. Ward.
Use fellow-commoner when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
