Etymology of HOST
The word "host" has its roots in Latin. It derives from the Latin noun "hostis", which initially referred to an enemy or a stranger. Over time, the meaning of "hostis" expanded to include the notion of an army or a large group of people. In Latin, the word "hostis" eventually evolved into "hospes", which referred to a guest or a host. This shift in meaning occurred through the association between strangers or guests being treated with hospitality by a host. As languages evolved, the word "hospes" became "host" in Old French and English, with the concept of a host being someone who receives and entertains guests.
