?Which word?
hospitable or hostile?
Hospitable (from hospitality, the welcoming of guests) means friendly and generous to visitors. Hostile means unfriendly or showing enmity. The two look and sound a little alike but are opposites in spirit: a hospitable host, a hostile crowd. Both descend from the same Latin root (hospes, guest or stranger), which once covered both friend and enemy.
Hospitable (hospitality, अतिथि-सत्कार, से) का अर्थ 'मेहमानों के प्रति मित्रवत और उदार' है। Hostile का अर्थ 'शत्रुतापूर्ण' है। दोनों दिखने और सुनने में थोड़े मिलते हैं पर भाव में विपरीत हैं: a hospitable host, a hostile crowd। दोनों एक ही Latin मूल (hospes, अतिथि या अजनबी) से हैं, जो कभी मित्र और शत्रु दोनों को समेटता था।
The hospitable/hostile pair is a usage item.
Hospitable और hostile की जोड़ी usage में आती है।
