hospes
Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Italic *hostipotis, an old compound of hostis and the root of potis. The only direct Indo-European cognate is Common Slavic *gospodь (“lord, master”), which would render the supposed Proto-Indo-European reconstruction as *gʰost(i)potis, a compound of *gʰóstis (whence hostis) and *pótis (whence potis).
