Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'hostile', derived from the Latin 'hostilis' (belonging to an enemy, from 'hostis' meaning stranger or enemy), and 'reception', derived from the Latin 'receptionem' (a recovering or receiving), from 'recipere'. Together, the phrase solidified in modern English usage to describe an antagonistic or unwelcoming greeting or response given to a person, idea, or proposal.
