In another form the motivating word is not explicitly present, but the context allows it to be understood as implied. This is implied companionship (taqdīrī). The expression responds to an already understood wording, practice, or framing.
If a community's ritual is spoken of as a kind of “dyeing” and an answer describes faith by the corresponding “color,” the latter term can reflect the presupposed earlier expression even if the two are not quoted side by side in the sentence.
Analysis needs restraint. Without evidence for the implied context, inventing a missing word to label every figurative use as mushākalah would be unsound.
