The English word company has its origins in the Old French military term compagnie (first recorded in 1150), meaning a “body of soldiers”, which came from the Late Latin word companio (“one who eats bread with you”), first attested in the Lex Salica as a calque of the Germanic expression gahlaibo (literally, “with bread”), galeipo (“companion”) and Gothic gahlaiba (“messmate”). By 1303, the word referred to trade guilds. Usage of the term company to mean “business association” was first recorded in 1553, and the abbreviation “co.” dates from 1769.
