WHAT DOES FELLOW TRAVELLER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fellow traveller

A fellow traveller or fellow traveler is a person who sympathizes with the beliefs of an organization or cooperates in its activities without maintaining formal membership in that particular group.

The English-language phrase came into vogue in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s as a pejorative term for a sympathizer of Communism or particular Communist states, who was nonetheless not a "card-carrying member" of a Communist party.
