Pronunciation & Spelling
Companion shares the exact stressed syllable /pæn/ with companionable, but the extra /əbəl/ ending means they do not rhyme. Agreeable, personable, and reasonable end in the same letters -able, but their stress is in different positions (agreeable /əˈɡriːəbəl/, personable /ˈpɜːrsənəbəl/, reasonable /ˈriːzənəbəl/), so none of them rhymes with companionable.
