    In Spanish, a child's father and godfather are, to each other, " compadres " that is, " co-fathers ". " Compadre " is also a traditional term of reverence and friendship for a man. The equivalent feminine term in Spanish is " comadre ". " Compadre " and " comadre " appeared simultaneously in the work that gives us our first known use of " compadre " in English : " Busy as common, comadre ! " said Lopez as he entered, addressing the mother," late and early I can find you at work " " Yes, compadre " was the answer." (Albert Pike, " A Mexican Tale," 1834). In English, " compadre " means " friend " and can refer to a person of either sex. " Comadre " continues to appear occasionally in English contexts, but it is not yet well enough established to merit entry in English dictionaries
