Here lately, I love doing word study essay.  These word study have help me to see words in a diffrent way and I also learn more word and I defently love learning the histroy of words and our histroy through words and that is what this essay is exploring.  So lets check it out.

Denotative and connotative:
Denotative is derive from denotation and it is a noun and it means the literal or primary meaning of a word, in contrast to the feelings or ideas that the word suggests.
Connotative is derive from connotation it's a noun and it means an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal or primary meaning.

Hotel is a noun and it means a commercial establishment offering lodging to travelers and sometimes to permanent residents, and sometimes to permanent residents, and often having restaurants, meeting rooms, stores, etc., that are available to the general public.

Etymology it is a noun and it means the study of the origin of words and the way in which their meanings have changed throughout history.

The etymology of hotel.  Hotel is a noun and the first time it was utter was around the 1640s.  Hotels were original public official residence or a large private residence.  From French hotels were a mansion, palace, large house.  From Old French Hotel was called ostel, hostel, which means a lodging.  In the modern sense hotel means an inn of the better sort and it is first recorded in 1765.  It was the same word as hospital.

Path words are words that lead to a word some how.  Lets look at the definition of path.  Path is a noun and it means a way beaten, or trodden by the feet of persons or animals.  Now lets look at the definition of word.  Word is a noun and it means a unit of language, consisting of one or more spoken sounds or their written representation, that function as a principal carrier of meaning. Words are composed of one or more morphemes and are either the smallest units susceptible of independent use or consist of two or three such units combined under certain linking conditions, as with the loss of primary accent that distinguishes black-bird- from black-bird- .  Words are usually separated by spaces in writing, and are distinguished phonologically, as by accent, in many languages.  So think of path words along that path.

Now lets start with the first path word hostel.  Hostel is a noun it is also called youth hostel.  It is an inexpensive, supervised lodging place for young people on bicycle trips, hikes, etc.  The etymology of hostel.  Hostel is a noun and in the early 13c. hostel meant an inn, house of entertainment.  From Old French ostel, hostel and it mean house, home, dwelling; inn, lodgings, shelter.  In the 11c., Modern French the word was hotel.  From Medieval Latin hospitale which means inn; large house.  Obsolete after the 16c., revived 1808, along with hostelry by Sir Walter Scott.  Youth hostel is recorded by 1931.

Hostelry is a noun and it means an inn or hotel.  The word hostelry was first utter around the late 14c. and as a surname from the early 14c.  From Old French ostelerie, hostelerie which means house, guest-house; kitchen; hospice, alms house and from 12c. Modern French hotellerie, from hostel which means house, home.  It was rare in Modern English before Scott.  An alternative hostry (from Old French hosterie, from hoste) was in use late 14c. through 18c.  Tindale, in Luke ii, has "There was no roome for them with in, in the hostrey" [1526].

Hospital is a noun and it means an institution in which sick or injured persons are given medical or surgical treatment.
Hospital in mid-13c. meant shelter for the needy.  From Old French hospital, ospital which means hostel, shelter, lodging and also from Modern French hopital.  From late Latin hospitale which means guest-house, inn, noun use of neuter of Latin adjective hospitalis which means of a guest or host and also as a noun that means a guest; the duties of hospitality.  From hospes (genitive hospitis) that means guest; host.

The sense of "charitable institution to house and maintain the needy" in English is from early 15c.; meaning "institution for sick or wounded people" is first recorded 1540s.  The same word, contracted, is hostel and hotel.  The sense shift in Latin from duties to buildings might have been via the common term cubiculum hospitalis "guest-chamber."  The Latin adjective use continued in Old French, where ospital also could mean "hospitable" and ospitalite could mean "hospital."

Host is a noun and it means a person who receives or entertains guests  at home or elsewhere:
The host at a theater party.
Host is a person who receives guest and especially for pay and this was around the late 13c.  From Old French oste, hoste and it means host, hostess, landlord and around the 12c., Modern French hote.  From Latin hospitem a nominative hospes and it means guest, stranger, sojourner, visitor (hence also foreigner'), also "host; one bound by ties of hospitality."

This appears to be from PIE *ghos-pot-, a compound meaning "guest-master" (compare Old Church Slavonic gospodi "lord, master,"literally "lord of strangers"), from the roots *ghost-ti- that means stranger, guest, host and *poti- that means powerful; lord.  The etymological notion is of someone "with whom one has reciprocal duties of hospitality" [Wathins].  The biological sense of "animal or plant having a parasite" is from 1857.

Potent which is an adjective and it means powerful; mighty:
A potent fighting force.
Potent was utter around the early 15c.  From Latin potentem a nominative of potens which means powerful, present participle of *potere "be powerful," from potis "powerful, able, capable; possible;" of persons, "better, preferable; chief, principal; strongest, foremost,"  from PIE root *poti- "powerful; lord" (source also of Sanskrit patih "master, husband," Greek posis, Lithuanian patis "husband").  Meaning "having sexual power" is first recorded 1899.

Ghos-ti- is a Proto-Indo-Enropean root meaning "stranger, guest, host," properly "someone with whom one has reciprocal duties of hospitality," representing "a mutual exchange relationship highly important to ancient Indo-European society" [Watkins].  But as strangers are potential enemies as well as guests, the word has a forked path.

It forms all or part of: Euxine; guest; hospice; hospitable; hospitality; hospodar; host (n. 1.) "person who receives guests;" host (n. 2.) "multitude;" hostage; hostel; hostile; hostility; hostler; hotel; Xenia; xeno-; xenon.

It is the hypothetical source of/evidence for its existence is provided by:
Greek xenos "guest, host, strange;" Latin hostis, in ealier use "a stranger," in classical use "an enemy," hospes "host;" Old Church Slavonic gosti "guest, friend," gospodi "lord, master;" Old English gaest, "chance comer, a stranger."
