The Proto-Germanic word *gahlaibōn, 'someone you share your bread with', was borrowed into Latin in a special way: its parts were translated individually. This is called a loan translation or a calque. The result was compāniō. This word became copain and compagnon in French and then companion in English. Here's more.

I think that one of my favourite language facts is about how in English, the word "calque" is a loanword from French, and the word "loanword" is a calque from German "Lehnwort".
