Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle English: companye

Verwante met Old French: compaignie

Verwante met Old French: compaignon

In summary

From Middle English companye (“a team; companionship”), from Old French compaignie (“companionship”) (Modern French: compagnie), possibly from Late Latin *compania, but this word is not attested. Old French compaignie is equivalent to Old French compaignon (Modern French: compagnon) + -ie. More at companion.
Displaced native Old English werod, gefer, getæl, and hired.
