🔧🐕 家 home + 伙 companion: a household's gear, beast, or coll. a guy
家 — roof 宀 + pig 豕
Originally a pictograph of a pig under a roof, since domesticated pigs were kept in or under the home in ancient China. Over time the meaning broadened from 'household' to 'family,' and by extension 'home' or a specialist (as in 专家, 'expert').
伙 — person radical 亻 + fire 火
伙 combines 亻 (person) with 火 (fire), originally referring to a group of people sharing a cooking fire — a mess unit of soldiers or travelers. From this it broadened to mean 'companion,' 'partner,' or 'group,' and is now common in words like 伙伴 (partner) and 伙计 (mate).
