something that goes well with something
Something that you have or use together with something else, usually to make it taste, look, or feel better, especially with food or drink.
用法パターン：
an accompaniment to [food/drink/thing]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use *company* instead of *accompaniment* when talking about food or objects (e.g. saying "Bread is a good company to soup"). Use *accompaniment* or *side dish* for food, and keep *company* for people or time spent with people. Also, remember the article: usually "an accompaniment" in singular.

side dish (Used only for food; a more specific term for a food accompaniment to a main course.)
対義語
main course (Refers to the primary dish in a meal, while an accompaniment is secondary and supports the main course.)

supporting music for a main part
Music that is played to go with a singer or another main instrument.
用法パターン：
play [an] accompaniment for [someone/something]
よくある間違い：
Learners may confuse *accompaniment* with *accompany* and say "he played accompaniment her" instead of "he played an accompaniment for her" or "he accompanied her". Remember: *accompaniment* is a noun (the music), while *accompany* is a verb (the action).

background music (Less technical; suggests music that is behind or under something else, not always as structured as an accompaniment.)

something that typically goes along with something
Something, often a feeling or condition, that usually happens at the same time as another thing.
用法パターン：
an accompaniment to [event/situation/feeling]
よくある間違い：
Learners may overuse this formal noun in casual speech where a simpler phrase like "usually comes with" or "often goes with" is more natural. Also, they sometimes write *accompaniment of* instead of the more common pattern *accompaniment to* (e.g. "a common accompaniment to stress").
類義語
companion (More general and less formal; can describe something that often goes together with something else, but also strongly used for people.)
|
by-product (Suggests something that comes as a side effect rather than just something that occurs alongside.)
対義語
absence (If something is an accompaniment, it is present alongside something; its opposite is its absence in that situation.)
