語源

From Proto-Italic *hostis, from Proto-Indo-European *gʰóstis (“guest, stranger”), whence also Proto-Germanic *gastiz (English guest) and Proto-Slavic *gostь. Varro (de lingua latina 5.4) confirms this: tum eō verbō dīcēbant peregrīnum [...], nunc dīcunt eum quem tum dīcēbant perduellem. ("Back then this word meant a stranger, today it means the same as perduellis - an enemy of the state.").

   • 63 BCE, Cicero, Catiline Orations Oratio in Catilinam Prima in Senatu Habita.13:

     Exīre ex urbe iubet cōnsul hostem.

     The consul orders an enemy to depart from the city.

   • c. 4 BCE – 65 CE, Seneca the Younger, Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium 47.5:

     Deinde, eiusdem arrogantiae, prōverbium iactātur: totidem hostēs esse quot servōs. Nōn habēmus illōs hostēs, sed facimus.

     Then, [out] of the same arrogance, the old saying is tossed around: as many enemies as [there are] slaves. Not [that] we have those enemies, but we make [them].
     (Seneca argues that enslaved people are not inherently enemies, but are made so by the cruelty of their enslavers.)
