The origin of the word is Middle English (as a noun, in the senses [strengthening, support, consolation] ; as a verb, in the senses [strengthen, give support, console] ): from Old French confort (noun), conforter (verb), from late Latin confortare 'strengthen,' from com- (expressing intensive force) + Latin fortis 'strong.' The sense [something producing physical ease] arose in the mid 17th cent.

Prefix
com-. Form of co- used before stems or suffixes beginning with b, p, or m. (commissure).
co-. [from Latin co- together, with, common] With, together, mutually (coenzyme, cofactor).
