I've been wondering this for a time, especially in moments when I would like to use this mystery word. You can say someone exhibits "solidarity", but what is the adjective for someone who does as part of their nature? I keep wanting to just use something like in the title above, namely: "solidary", "solidaritous", or "solidarious", but I know these don't exist (my spellcheck confirms it). I'm guessing there is a word with another stem that expresses the concept, and for sure I am aware of the word "loyal" being along those lines, but it doesn't quite express the same thing. So, is there a word for this? There is in Spanish, but the closest translation I see is "sympathetic", but that's definitely not the same intensity as the word "solidarity" would require.

  • The right word is solid. If your group's got solidarity, it's solid.

solidary does exist. Maybe it just isn't included in your spellcheck.

But coming back to your question, there is also a word for having solidarity: solidaric

  • Interesting.` Solidary` in that same Merriam-Webster link does indeed show up, it makes sense that my spellcheck wouldn't have it, since it seems to be a legal term. And solidaric! Nice find! Ugly word, but it's what I was looking for, thanks!
