Etymology

The French noun *hostie* comes from Old French *hoste* or *hostie*, itself derived from the Latin *hostia* “sacrificial offering, victim”. The Latin term originates from the verb *hostiāre* “to sacrifice”, a word that entered late Latin and was adopted into the Church’s liturgical language. Over time, *hostia* evolved in French to refer specifically to the consecrated bread used in Mass.
