köken: From Middle High German gasthūs, from Old High German gasthūs, from Proto-West Germanic *gastahūs, from Proto-Germanic *gastahūsą, equivalent to Gast (“guest”) + Haus (“house”). Compare Gästehaus.
köken: From Middle Dutch elft, possibly from an Old Dutch *alvit, from Proto-West Germanic *albut (“swan”). The semantic link to swans would be the fish's white color; the Germanic term ultimately derives from Proto-Indo-European *albʰós (“white”). This Indo-European word is generally accepted to be the most likely origin of this word, even if elft were found not to derive directly from Germanic *albits…
köken: Compound of 居 (i, “being in a place, sitting in a place”, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 居る iru “to be (for animate subjects)”) + 酒 (saka, “sake, liquor, alcoholic beverage”) + 屋 (ya, “house, store, building”). The saka changes to zaka as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
köken: A vulgar term acquired in the Imperial era. Compared to Ancient Greek κάναβος (kánabos, “wooden framework round”) and καλύβη (kalúbē, “hut”) with indecision, for the senses do not match. Possibly of Semitic origin, as the same meanings are found in Aramaic חָנוּתָא / ܚܳܢܽܘܬܴܐ (ḥānūṯā).
