Etymology
Romanian borrowed "companie" from French "compagnie" in the modern era, as part of a wave of French vocabulary that reshaped Romanian in the 19th century. The French word descends from Late Latin "companio," built from "cum" (with) and "panis" (bread). The core image is of people who share a meal, and from there the word widened to mean any group bound together, whether socially or commercially.
