COMPANION, noun
1. One who keeps company with another; one with whom a person frequently associates, and converses. It differs from friend, says Johnson, as acquaintance from confidence. The word does not necessarily imply friendship; but a companion is often or generally a friend.
A companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20.
2. One who accompanies another; as two persons meeting casually and traveling together are called companions. So soldiers are called companions in arms.

Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow soldier. Philippians 2:25.
4. A fellow; a mate.
