Q:

Solidary? Solidaritous? Solidarious? Adjective for having "solidarity"

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.

A:

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
