Etymology
Spital entered Romanian from German Spital and Italian spedale, both descendants of Medieval Latin hospitale, the neuter form of the adjective hospitalis, meaning of a guest or host. The root is Latin hospes, guest or host, which also produced English hospital, hospice, and hotel. Romanian dropped the initial ho- syllable, following the shape of its German and Italian sources rather than the fuller Latin or French form.
