A person who shares a trip or journey with another; a fellow traveler or companion on an excursion.
From prefix 'co-' (together) + 'tripper' (one who takes a trip). Tripper is a 19th-century coinage from 'trip,' which may derive from Dutch or Germanic roots.
The word 'tripper' became popular during the Victorian era as railroads made leisure travel accessible to working classes, creating a new vocabulary around recreational journeys and the people who took them together.
