Origin & History

From French accompagnement, from accompagner (“to accompany”), ultimately from Italian accompagnare (“to go with, to accompany”).

फ़्रेंच accompagnement से, जो accompagner (“साथ देना/संगत करना”) से बना है; इसकी जड़ें अंततः इतालवी accompagnare (“साथ चलना/साथ देना”) में मिलती हैं।

Definition

An accompaniment is an additional thing that is provided or happens together with something else, often to enhance it (for example, a sauce served with a dish). In music, it refers to the supporting part played or sung behind the main melody or soloist.

accompaniment वह अतिरिक्त चीज़ है जो किसी मुख्य चीज़ के साथ दी जाती है या साथ होती है और उसे बेहतर/पूर्ण बनाती है (जैसे भोजन के साथ सॉस)। संगीत में, यह मुख्य धुन या एकल गायक/वादक के पीछे बजने/गाए जाने वाला सहायक भाग (संगत) होता है।
