You can picture a partner as the one person standing on the same side as you, sharing the same job — the two of you paired up, doing one thing together so that what happens to one happens to both. Hold that one picture and the rest follow: the person you share a dance or a game with, the person you share a business with, the person you share your life with, a country that shares an agreement with yours, and the verb that simply means to pair up with someone like this.

可以把 partner 想成:和你站在同一邊、分擔同一件事的那個人——你們兩個搭成一對,一起做一件事,好處壞處一起扛。抓住這個「兩人搭成一對、共擔一事」的畫面,其餘用法就順下來了:一起跳舞、一起打球的人,一起做生意的人,一起過日子的人,一個跟你國簽約合作的國家;連動詞,也只是「和某人搭成這樣的一對」。
