Etymology

**Hospitalier** (verb) comes from the Late Latin *hospitalis*, “of a guest house, hospitable,” itself derived from *hospes* “guest, host.” The term entered Old French as *hospitale* (place for travelers), then *hospitalier* as an adjective meaning “hospital‐like, kind to strangers.” By the 15th‑century, the word was extended to a verb sense of welcoming or caring for others, reflecting the original idea of offering shelter and aid to guests.
