👉 The word "petmate" in English comes from the Bible, meaning a close companion or companion for a pet. It's used in Hebrew to mean "friend" and also has roots in Greek mythology where it was said that Zeus had a pet named Aesuaros. The term is often associated with companionship, loyalty, and service to a loved one, akin to the Jewish concept of a 'pet' or guardian who accompanies one on their journey of life.
