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?
