+1

Invited person's companion

A notation expressing agreement, approval, or support for something someone else has said or proposed.

Originating in online forums and comment systems where users could upvote content, +1 became shorthand for "I agree" or "count me in": +1 to what Sarah said.

It also indicates adding one more person: +1 for dinner means bringing a guest.
