"The primitive notion conveyed by hostis is that of equality by compensation: a hostis is one who repays my gift with a counter-gift. Thus, like its Gothic counterpart, gasts, Latin hostis at one period denoted the guest. The classical meaning “enemy” must have developed when reciprocal relations between clans were succeeded by the exclusive relations of civitas to civitas (cf. Gr. xénos ‘guest’ > ‘stranger’). "Because of this Latin coined a new name for “guest”: *hosti-pet-, which may perhaps be interpreted as arising from an abstract noun hosti “hospitality” and consequently meaning “he who predominantly personifies hospitality, the one who is hospitality itself.”" ~ E. Benveniste, Indo-European Language and Society (1973)

The late Proto-Indo-European word for human, *dhǵh(e)m-ōn, was isolated to the North-West branch (Italic, Celtic, Germanic, and Baltic). It was an innovation on the word for "earth" and not reflective of the oldest layer of the Proto-Indo-European language.
