The Chinese word 伙伴 (huǒbàn) for "partner" or "companion" is composed of two characters: 火 (huǒ) meaning "fire" and 伴 (bàn) meaning "accompany" or "keep company with". The original meaning of 伙伴 was "someone who shares the same fire", referring to people who lived together and shared a common hearth. Over time, the meaning of 伙伴 expanded to include anyone who works together or shares a common goal, regardless of whether they share a physical space. The term is often used in a positive sense to describe a close and supportive relationship, but it can also be used in a negative sense to describe someone who is a bad influence or a troublemaker.
