The Chinese word 陪同 (péitóng) is composed of two characters: 陪 (péi) and 同 (tóng). The character 陪 originally meant "to accompany" or "to be with someone", and it is often used in the sense of "to keep someone company" or "to attend someone". The character 同 means "together" or "the same", and it is often used in the sense of "to do something together" or "to share something with someone". When these two characters are combined, the word 陪同 takes on the meaning of "to accompany someone" or "to go with someone". For example, if you want to say "I will accompany you to the store", you would say "我陪你去商店" (wǒ péi nǐ qù shāngdiàn).
