Word of the Day: HOSPITALIOUS

ETYMOLOGY
from Latin hospitālis (hospitable) + -ous

EXAMPLE
“…Too much, too little, or a meane, sort out alike, we see,
House-keeping, nor Humilitie, in any of the Three.
Be hospitalious, Churchmen: Lay, cease sacrilegious sinne:
Your Soules-sore, but their Stores-salue, whence, euē whiningly, they winne,
By pinching from the Pulpet, and their Purses, with this note,
Scarse will their Studies stipend them, their wiues, and Children cote
…”

From: Albions England
A continued historie of the same kingdome, from the originals of the first inhabitants thereof
By William Warner, 1596
