Etimología (Inglés)

Inherited from Old French compaing, compain, from Late Latin compāniō (nominative form) (compare also Italian compagno), from com- + pānis, literally “with-bread”, a word first attested in the Frankish Lex Salica as a translation of a Germanic word, probably Frankish *galaibo, *gahlaibo (“messmate”, literally “with-bread”), from *hlaib (“loaf, bread”). See also compagnon, from the accusative form of the same Late Latin term (compāniōnem), whence English companion. The sense of 'boyfriend' is by ellipsis of petit copain.
