The word(s) "associate" appears 15 time(s) in 14 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(11) They and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on Thrones (of dignity);

(12) Is then one brought up among trinkets, and unable to give a clear account in a dispute (to be associated with Allah)?

(13) Or have they a god other than Allah? Exalted is Allah far above the things they associate with Him!

(14) O Prophet! When believing women come to thee to take the oath of fealty to thee, that they will not associate in worship any other thing whatever with Allah, that they will not steal, that they will not commit adultery (or fornication), that they will not kill their children, that they will not utter slander, intentionally forging falsehood, and that they will not disobey thee in any just matter,- then do thou receive their fealty, and pray to Allah for the forgiveness (of their sins): for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
