Once again, Americans have Merriam-Webster to thank for keeping another foreign word from cluttering up our vocabularies.

Except, in this case, while Merriam-Webster says we don't have to be Xenodochial to strangers, though we can put strangers, including pilgrims, the poor, and the sick, in Xenodochia (Xenodochium, singular). Whether you want to be xenodochial to those people is your own choice.
