Etymology
Oaspete comes from the Latin hospes, hospitem, meaning guest or host depending on context. Romanian kept the word through unbroken use since the Latin period, while most other Romance languages reshaped it further (Italian ospite, French hôte). The same Latin root also gave Romanian ospăț, a word for a feast held for guests.
