Hospitality refers to the relationship between a guest and a host, wherein the host receives the

guest with goodwill, including the reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers.
Louis, chevalier de Jaucourt describes hospitality in the Encyclopédie as the virtue of a great soul
that cares for the whole universe through the ties of humanity.[4]
Hospitality ethics is a discipline that studies this usage of hospitality.
Derives from the Latin hospes,[5] meaning "host", "guest", or "stranger". Hospes is formed
from hostis, which means "stranger" or "enemy" (the latter being where terms like "hostile"
derive). By metonymy the Latin word 'Hospital' means a guest-chamber, guest's lodging, an
inn.[6]Hospes/hostis is thus the root for the English words host, hospitality, hospice, hostel and
hotel.
in Ancient Greece, hospitality was a right, with the host being expected to make sure the needs of
his guests were met. The ancient Greek term xenia, or theoxenia when a god was involved,
expressed this ritualized guest-friendship relation. In Greek society a person's ability to abide by
the laws of hospitality determined nobility and social standing. The Stoics regarded hospitality as
a duty inspired by Zeus himself
