Hostler A hostler or ostler is a groom or stableman, who is employed in a stable to take care of horses, usually at an inn. Today the word has acquired additional meanings, particularly in the railroad industry.〔 ==Etymology== The word is spelled "hostler" in American English, but "ostler" in British English. It traces to c.1386, meaning "one who tends to horses at an inn"—and also, occasionally, "innkeeper"—is derived from Anglo-French ''hostiler'' (modern French ''hostelier''), itself from Medieval Latin ''hostilarius'' "the monk who entertains guests at a monastery", from ''hospitale'' "inn" (compare hospital, hospitaller, hospitality).〔(EtymologyOnLine- Hostler )〕 A similar word, ''hostelero'' (innkeeper, the one that took care of a hostal), exists in Spanish.
