Origin and Evolution of accompanying

First Known Use: 1601 year
Language of Origin: Latin
Story behind the word: The word 'accompanying' originated from the Latin word 'accompaniare', which is derived from the prefix 'ad-' meaning 'to' and 'companion' meaning 'one who eats bread with another'.
Evolution of the word: Over time, the word 'accompanying' has evolved to signify being present or going along with someone or something, rather than just sharing a meal together.
