friendship and solidarity in a group
A strong feeling of friendship and help between people who feel they are on the same team.
用法パターン：
a brotherhood of [people]
よくある間違い：
Some learners think 'brotherhood' is only about male family members. In modern English it is often used for a strong friendly feeling and support inside any group, not only between biological brothers. Learners also sometimes say *'a brotherhood feeling'* instead of the more natural 'a feeling of brotherhood' or 'a sense of brotherhood'.
