People who are regularly together with someone, often sharing experiences or activities.
From Old French 'compaignon,' literally 'one who eats bread with you,' from Latin 'com-' (with) and 'panis' (bread). The shared meal created the bond.
The word 'companion' literally means 'someone you break bread with,' which reveals how deeply humans understand that sharing food creates connection and friendship—it's why we bond over meals, from casual lunches to formal dinners.
