Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Old English 'g(i)est', meaning 'stranger, guest, enemy', originating from Proto-Germanic '*gastiz', which traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root '*ghos-ti-', denoting 'stranger, guest, host' (someone with whom one has reciprocal duties of hospitality). Over centuries, the hostile or foreign connotation faded, narrowing strictly to a visitor entertained by another.
