escorts
Guides someone somewhere
Escorts are people who accompany others, whether for protection, guidance, or companionship.
A military escort guards a convoy; a funeral escort leads a procession.
The verb means to accompany: Security escorted him from the building.
Escort also refers to a paid companion for social events, and euphemistically to a prostitute—hence escort service, which may offer either.
