Noun

IPA: /o.tɛl.djø/ Forms: hôtels-Dieu [plural]
Etymology: From Old French ostel Deu (literally “God’s hostel”), stressing the charitable nature (although hospitals where then invariably religious). The construction, instead of expected hôtel de Dieu, is a relict of an Old French oblique case form in genitive function; another such example is Fête-Dieu.
