From the word’s history
From Old French hospitalité, from Latin hospitālitās, from hospitālis, from hospes 'guest, host'.
源自拉丁文 hospitālitās，來自 hospes「客人、主人」。
Picture arriving at someone's home tired, and finding the kettle already on, by the door, a bed made up. Nobody owed you any of it. Hospitality is that warmth turned towards a guest — and once companies started doing the same thing on purpose, with drinks and a private box at the stadium, the word followed them into business.
