Company
Incorporated commercial organization
Company is the state of being with others, not alone: I enjoy her company, We have company coming.
A company is also a business entity or a group of performers: a theater company, a software company.
In military usage, a company is a unit typically commanded by a captain.
To keep company with someone is to spend time with them regularly, often romantically.
To part company is to separate or disagree.
