companionability

/kəmpˈæniənəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The state of being companionable, suitability for companionship.

Word Origin From Latin 'com-' (with) and 'panis' (bread) — a companion is literally someone you break bread with. The word builds up: companion (bread-sharer), companionable (able to be a companion), and companionability (the quality of being companionable). The same root 'panis' gives us pantry, pannier, and company. A warm word about shared meals.
