Definitions
An old-fashioned or South Asian English term for a classmate — someone who attends the same class or course as you. While 'classmate' has mostly taken over in global English, 'classfellow' hangs on in Indian educational contexts and older formal writing. It carries a slightly more formal, collegial feel than its modern replacement, and you'll still spot it in Indian newspapers, school reports, and correspondence from those who grew up with it.
My classfellow Priya always shared her notes before exams.
