Auberge (noun)
oh-berzh
An inn or hostel.
Auberge entered English from French around 1770–80. The French word auberge comes from Old Provençal alberga, which meant “encampment, hut.” These forms diverged from the verb arbergar, “to lodge, shelter,” which was originally from an East Germanic term meaning, “to shelter an armed force.”
