    4. Word OriginOld English (in the sense ‘dwelling place, lodging’): of Germanic origin; related to in. In Middle English the word was used to translate Latin hospitium (see hospice), denoting a house of residence for students: this sense is preserved in Britian in the names of some buildings formerly used for this purpose, notably Gray's Inn and Lincoln's Inn, two of the Inns of Court, which are the four organizations in England with the authority to allow lawyers to become barristers. The current sense dates from late Middle English.
