The Importance of Xenia in Conlang

Gosti is a word that could look somewhat mundane to the speakers of the language you're borrowing from. It takes on this extra meaning just because you are taking the word for something in a particular culture and then carrying with it all the cultural trappings. The idea that Xenia or even Exenos, which drives our prefixesino, comes from Gosti isn't exactly accepted by everyone as far as in the etymology field.
