compañero
/kompaˈɲeɾo/ · A2 · noun · m
companion
🍞 com + pan = with bread: the one you share bread with
From Latin com (with) + panis (bread), the same root as English companion. Spanish pan still means bread, so compañero is literally a bread-sharer: the person at your table, then your classmate, coworker or comrade.
