Explanation: This word literally means 'hospitable' or 'friendly to strangers'. It is most famously used as an epithet for the Black Sea, which was paradoxically called the 'Euxine Sea' (Pontus Euxinus) by the Greeks, perhaps as a euphemism to avoid offending its notoriously stormy and inhospitable nature, or to suggest a more welcoming aspect after its colonization. It can be used to describe something that is welcoming or provides good hospitality.
