person who goes with you for safety
A person who goes with another person to keep them safe, help them, or watch them.
用法パターン：
an escort for [someone]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse the noun and verb forms and say *"He is escorting"* when they mean *"He is an escort"*. Use the noun when you talk about the person’s role ("He is my escort"), and the verb when you talk about the action ("He will escort me").
類義語
bodyguard (Focuses more strongly on physical protection, especially from attack.)
|
guard (More general; may or may not move with the person and is not always one-to-one.)
対義語
attacker (Plays the opposite role in a dangerous situation; instead of protecting a person, this person threatens them.)

person paid for companionship or sex
A person you pay to go out with you, often also for sex.
用法パターン：
an escort from [an agency/service]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use "escort" to mean any romantic partner or date, which can be confusing because this sense often involves payment and sometimes sex. Use "date", "boyfriend", or "girlfriend" for personal relationships, and "escort" when it is a paid service.
類義語
sex worker (Broad, neutral term for people who work in the sex industry, not only as escorts.)
|
call girl (Informal and gender-specific; usually refers to a female escort and can sound dated or judgmental.)
対義語
girlfriend (A romantic partner in a personal relationship, not someone you usually pay for companionship.)

protective group traveling with someone
A group that travels with a person or vehicle to keep them safe or help them.
用法パターン：
an escort of [vehicles/guards]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use *"escort"* instead of *"convoy"* for any group of vehicles. Use "escort" when the group is there mainly for protection or official support; use "convoy" for a simple line of vehicles traveling together.
類義語
convoy (Usually a group of vehicles traveling together, not always with the idea of protection.)
|
guard detail (More formal and military; focuses on the personnel assigned to protection.)
対義語
unescorted convoy (A convoy or group traveling without protective vehicles or guards.)

用法パターン：
[someone] escorts [someone] out/of [a place]

Learners sometimes say *"They escorted him outside of"* and add an extra preposition. It is more natural to say "They escorted him out of the building" or "They escorted him outside" but not both together.
類義語
remove (More general and formal; does not show that someone walks with the person.)
|
usher out (Suggests politely showing someone the way out, with less focus on authority.)
対義語

companion at a formal event
A person who goes with you as your partner to a party or special event.
用法パターン：
an escort to [an event]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes mix this sense with the paid-companion meaning and think that any "escort" must be paid. In formal or traditional events, an escort is usually just a partner or companion, not a paid service.
類義語
date (More general and informal; used for any person you go out with, not only at formal events.)
|
companion (Very general; does not clearly show that it is a social or romantic event.)
対義語
solo guest (A person who attends an event alone, without a partner or escort.)

go with someone as social partner
To go with a person as their partner to a party or special event.
用法パターン：
[someone] escorts [someone] to [an event]
よくある間違い：
Learners often avoid this verb in social situations and use only "go with". "Escort" is correct but sounds more formal and is typical in descriptions of ceremonies or traditional events, not casual outings.
類義語
accompany (More general and neutral; does not emphasize a social or partner role.)
|
take (In phrases like "take someone to the dance" it is less formal and more common in everyday speech.)
対義語
stand up (Informal phrase meaning to fail to meet someone for a planned date, opposite of going with them.)
