Word origin

The word 'accompanying' originates from the verb 'accompany', which comes from the Middle English word 'acompanyen', from Old French 'acompaignier', based on Latin 'ad-' (to) + 'com-panis' (bread). The concept of companionship and being together has evolved over time to include the idea of being with someone or something as an accompaniment or support.
