Meaning & History
Derived from the Greek adjective σύμφορος (symphoros) meaning "accompanying", which is derived from the Greek verb συμφορέω (symphoreo) meaning "to bring together, to collect, to heap up", a variant of the more common verb συμφέρω (symphero) meaning "to bring together, to gather, to collect" as well as "to be of use, to be useful". Both verbs are ultimately derived from Greek σύν (syn) meaning "beside, with" combined with respectively Greek φορέω (phoreo) and φέρω (phero), which both mean "to bring, to carry, to bear".
