acompañar
/akompaˈɲaɾ/ · A2 · verb
to accompany, to go with, to join, to tag along
🍞 a- + compañ(ero) + -ar: to be a companion to someone; cousin of accompany
Built on compañero, from Latin com (with) + panis (bread): a companion is the one you share bread with. Acompañar is to act as that person, going along with someone. English accompany comes from the same root, so the meaning carries over directly.
