different between companion vs enemy
companion
English
Etymology
From Middle English companion, from Old French compaignon (“companion”) (modern French compagnon), from Late Latin comp?ni?n- (nominative singular comp?ni?, whence French copain), from com- +? p?nis (literally, with + bread), a word first attested in the Frankish Lex Salica as a calque of a Germanic word, probably Frankish *galaibo, *gahlaib? (“messmate”, literally “with-bread”), from Proto-Germanic *gahlaibô. Compare also Old High German galeipo (“messmate”) and Gothic ???????????????????????????????? (gahlaiba, “messmate”); and, for the semantics, compare Old Armenian ????? (?nker, “friend”, literally “messmate”). More at co-, loaf. Displaced native Old English ?ef?ra.
