Morphology

accompanied = accompany (transparent) = accompany + ed

The adjective is a regular past-participle/adjectival form of the verb 'accompany' meaning 'with accompaniment'; the meaning follows directly from the base plus '-ed'.

Etymology

Accompanied comes from the same root as companion, built from old parts com- 'with' and panis 'bread', so it originally meant someone you 'share bread with'. That's why in music an instrument or singer that plays 'with' you is like a musical companion, so being accompanied means being played or sung 'with' support.
