By definition a stranger is strange, and since this strangeness may evoke fear or delight, a stranger may be seen as either an enemy or a friend. Accordingly, the Indo-European word that meant stranger\u2014ghostis (which is not related to the English word ghost)\u2014developed by different routes into words that apply to enemies and words that apply to friends. For example, in Greece the Indo-European ghostis evolved into the Greek word xenos, meaning stranger, from which English gets xenophobia, the fear of foreigners; similarly, in Italy the word ghostis evolved into the Latin word hostis, meaning enemy, from which English gets the word hostile. However, another Latin word also developed from the Indo-European ghostis: namely, hospes, a word the ancient Romans applied to someone who looks after strangers and treats them as friends. In the twelfth century this Latin word (hospes) developed into the French hoste, which, at the beginning of the fourteenth century, became the English word host, denoting someone who entertains guests. The Latin hospes also gave rise to the English words hostel and hotel\u2014places where strangers are given food and shelter\u2014and to hospital\u2014a place where doctors nurse complete strangers back to health. Ghostis, the original Indo-European source of all these words, also gave rise to another line of words in the Germanic language family: it evolved into the Germanic gastiz, meaning friendly stranger, which in turn developed into the English word guest, first recorded about a thousand years ago. The words host and guest, therefore, derive from the same source, a fact more apparent in French where hole refers to both the person who is hosting and to the person who is guesting.<\/p>\n

A person or animal on which a parasite lives.<\/p>\n
A living human or other animal on which a parasite lives. A host may support a parasite externally, as on the skin, or internally, as in the intestines. Living plants are also sometimes hosts. The host may experience serious disease as a result of infestation with a parasite. In some cases, a parasite destroys its host and is itself killed in the process. In other instances, a parasite may move from one host to another, thereby transmitting disease among its hosts; parasites can also live in or on a host without having a significant effect on the host’s health.<\/p>\n
An animal or plant in or upon which a parasite lives. An intermediate host is one in which the parasite passes its larval or asexual stages; a definitive host is one in which the parasite develops to its sexual stage.<\/p>\n
An organism harbouring a parasite (BMS). A living organism harbouring another organism or virus dependent on it for existence (APS).<\/p>\n
The host organism, which can be a primate like a monkey or a human, that harbors another organism such as a virus or bacteria within its body.<\/p>\n
In medical terminology, a host refers to an organism, which can be an animal (including humans) or a plant, that provides a habitat for a parasite during some or all phases of its life cycle.<\/p>\n
