Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g435 Greek: aner

Fellow:

denotes "a man," in relation to his sex or age; in Act 17:5 (plural) it is rendered "fellows," as more appropriate to the accompanying description of them.
See HUSBAND, MAN, SIR.

2 Strong's Number: g2083 Greek: hetairos

Fellow:

"a companion, comrade," is translated "fellows" in Mat 11:16 [where, however, the most authentic mss. have heterois, "(the) others"]. The word is used only by Matthew and is translated "friend" in Mat 20:13; 22:12; 26:50.
See FRIEND.

3 Strong's Number: g3353 Greek: metochos

Fellow:

properly an adjective signifying "sharing in, partaking of," is translated "partners" in Luk 5:7; "partakers" in Hbr 3:1, 14; 6:4; 12:8; "fellows" in Hbr 1:9, of those who share in a heavenly calling, or have held, or will hold, a regal position in relation to the earthly, messianic kingdom. (Cp. summetochos, "fellow-partakers," in Eph 3:6, RV).
See PARTAKER, PARTNER.

Notes:

(1) In Act 24:5 loimos, "a plague, a pest," is rendered "a pestilent fellow." This is a sample of the strongest use of the epithet "fellow."

(2) Toioutos, an adjective, "such a one," is often used as a noun, e.g., Act 22:22, where it is translated "such a fellow."

(3) Houtos, "this," is translated "this fellow" in the AV of Luk 23:2 (RV, "this man"). So in Jhn 9:29. Both versions have "this man," e.g., in Mar 2:7; Jhn 6:52, in the same contemptuous sense.

(4) For the word in combination with various nouns see CITIZEN, DISCIPLE, ELDER, HEIR, HELPER, LABORER, MEMBER, PARTNER, PRISONER, SERVANT, SOLDIER, WORK, WORKER.
