noun, feminine/ɔs.pi.ta.li.te/plural: hospitalités

hospitality (attitude of openness, respect, and generosity toward guests)

Antonyms: inhospitalité

From Old French hospitalité (ca. 1200), a borrowing from Latin hospitālitās. It remained a learned word and therefore did not undergo the regular muting of preconsonantal /s/ (as in hôpital).
