Morphology

accompanied = accompany (transparent) = accompany + ed

This adjectival sense is formed by the regular past-participle/adjectival use of 'accompany' and denotes 'having companions', which is directly inferable from the base verb.

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 if you are accompanied, you are not alone but 'with' someone or an escort.
