[Etymology]

[Noun]
editcohort (plural cohorts)
1.A group of people supporting the same thing or person.
2.1887 July, George John Romanes, Mental Differences of Men and Women, in Popular Science Monthly, Volume 31,
Coyness and caprice have in consequence become a heritage of the sex, together with a cohort of allied weaknesses and petty deceits, that men have come to think venial, and even amiable, in women, but which they would not tolerate among themselves.
3.1916, James Joyce, chapter III, in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man:
A sin, an instant of rebellious pride of the intellect, made Lucifer and a third part of the cohort of angels fall from their glory.
4.1919, Albert Payson Terhune, Lad: A Dog, Chapter VI: Lost!,
A lost dog? — Yes. No succoring cohort surges to the relief. A gang of boys, perhaps, may give chase, but assuredly not in kindness.

The 18-24 cohort shows a sharp increase in automobile fatalities over the proximate age groupings.

8.1910, Arthur Conan Doyle, The Last of the Legions:
But here it is as clear as words can make it: 'Bring every man of the Legions by forced marches to the help of the Empire. Leave not a cohort in Britain.' These are my orders.
9.1913, Cornelius, article in Catholic Encyclopedia,
The cohort in which he was centurion was probably the Cohors II Italica civium Romanorum, which a recently discovered inscription proves to have been stationed in Syria before A.D. 69.
10.An accomplice; abettor; associate.
He was able to plea down his sentence by revealing the names of three of his cohorts, as well as the source of the information.
11.Any band or body of warriors.
12.1667, John Milton, “(please specify the book number)”, in Paradise Lost. […], London: […] [Samuel Simmons], […], OCLC 228722708; republished as Paradise Lost in Ten Books: […], London: Basil Montagu Pickering […], 1873, OCLC 230729554:

4.December 13 2021, Molly Ball, Jeffrey Kluger and Alejandro de la Garza, “Elon Musk: Person of the Year 2021”, in Time[1]:

5.Based on experience; empirical.
6.1902, William James, “Lecture I”, in The Varieties of Religious Experience:
In recent books on logic, distinction is made between two orders of inquiry concerning anything. First, what is the nature of it? how did it come about? what is its constitution, origin, and history? And second, What is its importance, meaning, or significance, now that it is once here? The answer to the one question is given in an existential judgment or proposition. The answer to the other is a proposition of value, what the Germans call a Werthurtheil […]
7.(philosophy) Of, or relating to existentialism.
