Xenia
俄亥俄州的城市,源自希臘語 xenia “好客,對待客人的權利,與陌生人友好關係”的意思,字面意思是“客人的狀態”,源自 xenos “客人”(源自 PIE 詞根 *ghos-ti- “陌生人,客人,主人”)。該城市成立於1803年,由鎮議會投票決定名稱,建議者爲羅伯特·阿姆斯特朗牧師,旨在表達友好和熱情好客。

*ghos-ti-
原始印歐語根,意爲“陌生人,客人,主人”,恰當地表示“一種對古代印歐社會非常重要的互惠關係”,代表“潛在的敵人和客人的雙重路徑”。
The word ghos-ti- was thus the central expression of the guest-host relationship, a mutual exchange relationship highly important to ancient Indo-European society. A guest-friendship was a bond of trust between two people that was accompanied by ritualized gift-giving and created an obligation of mutual hospitality and friendship that, once established, could continue in perpetuity and be renewed years later by the same parties or their descendants. [Calvert Watkins, "American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots"]
因此,“ghos-ti-”一詞是客人和主人關係的核心表達,是一種信任的紐帶,伴隨着禮物的 ritualized gift-giving,創造了一種互相款待和友誼的義務,一旦建立,可以永久維持,並由同一方或其後代在多年後續約。[Calvert Watkins,“美國傳統詞根詞典”]
