EN: hospice; orphanage; asylum
Think of it as the old-school Spanish word for a place that takes care of people who can't be cared for at home—like an orphanage or a home for the aged. It sounds very "Maria Clara" era. You'd probably read this in a Noli Me Tángere chapter, not hear it at the mall. The more common Filipino spelling now is 'hospisyo'.
From Spanish "hospicio", meaning "hospice" or "poorhouse".
This is the Spanish spelling and is considered archaic or literary. The Filipinized spelling "hospisyo" is more common.
