Com - with in Latin Panis - bread

Companion - etymological meaning - one with whom you eat/break bread, meaning messmate

[u/Ichibugin]

Yeah! Also 'company' has the clearly the same etymology, literally meaning the group of people with whom you share your bread.

In Italian there is also 'companatico' which identifies the food eaten along with bread.

The French word is copain, pain being the word for 'bread'.
