accompany
Join someone traveling
Accompany means to go along with someone or something, providing company or support.
A person might accompany a friend to a doctor's appointment, or a side dish might accompany a main course.
In music, to accompany is to play supportive background for a lead performer: She accompanied the soloist on piano.
Things that occur together are also said to accompany one another: Nausea often accompanies migraines.
