Colleague, associate (8)
I believe this is a double definition.
'colleague' is the first definition.
(I know that colleague can be written as confrere)
'associate' is the second definition.
(I know that confrere is a type of associate)
(Other definitions for confrere that I've seen before include "Enforcer as professional colleague or associate" , "Fellow member" , "colleague from France" .)
This clue is a double definition.
'colleague' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'associate' is the second definition.
(I know that associate can be written as comrade)
(Other definitions for comrade that I've seen before include "Ally" , "Colleague" , "Companion" , "Fellow left-winger" , "Fellow soldier" .)
