Travelling companion from Bruges? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rug

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'travelling companion' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'from bruges?' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'RUG' is hidden in the letters of 'bruges'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rug that I've seen before include "Floor (or lap) covering" , "Small carpet" , "grace the boards" , "Informal term for a toupee" , "One covering" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
