Did the word company come from Latin root to share wine?

No, the word "company" doesn't come from a Latin root meaning "to share wine." While it is true that the Latin word "cum panis," meaning "with bread," is the root of the word "companion," this is not the origin of the word "company."

The word "company" actually derives from the Old French word "compaignie," which itself comes from the Latin word "compagnia," meaning "association," "fellowship," or "group." This broader sense of togetherness is what the word "company" conveys in modern English.

While sharing wine and bread was certainly a common practice in Roman times, and likely contributed to the formation of social groups, it's important to remember that "company" encompasses a wider range of groups and activities beyond just shared meals.
