A storage unit for exercise bikes that occasionally lets humans sleep in it.
means A spare bedroom kept mostly ready for visitors who don't live in your house.
from Simply a compound of 'guest' (from Old English 'gæst/giest,' a cousin of Germanic and even Latin 'hostis' — originally meaning stranger, as host and hostile share that same root — and later 'hostage,' all tangled up in the old idea of strangers owed either hospitality or suspicion) plus 'room,' from Old English 'rum,' meaning open space. No tangled myth here — just English gluing 'stranger-you-welcome' to 'space' once houses got big enough to spare one.
