Etymology edit

From a Vulgar Latin root *astectō, from Latin adspectō, variant of aspectō. Compare Romanian aștepta, aștept. The second sense of receiving guests may indicate the influence of expectō, or it may be the natural evolution of the word, as in expecting or waiting for guests.

Verb edit

ashteptu first-singular present indicative (past participle ashtiptatã)

  1. to wait
  2. to receive or have guests
