IPA: /ɔst/ Audio: LL-Q150 (fra)-DenisdeShawi-ost.wav [Canada] Forms: osts [plural]
Etymology: From Middle French ost, from Old French ost, host, from Latin hostis. An archaic or literary term referring to an army from the Middle Ages, taken from Middle French (i.e. no longer reflecting a popularly inherited form). The modern pronunciation is based on the spelling, differing from the original one, which was /o/. Has survived as an inherited form in the dialects of the Picardy and Maine regions as o (“herd”).
