The word "companion" originated from the Middle English term "compainoun" which can be traced back to the Old French word "compagnon". The Old French term ultimately derived from the Latin word "companionem", which is the accusative form of "companio". "Companio" was derived from the prefix "com-" meaning "with" and "panis" meaning "bread", literally meaning "one who shares bread with another". This reflects the historical practice of sharing a meal together and the close bond that forms from such companionship. Over time, the meaning of "companion" expanded to refer to a person who accompanies and provides friendship and support.
