xenial (ZEE-nee-uhl, ZEEN-yuhl) - adj., welcoming and hospitable; (in ancient Greece) of or relating to the relation between host and guest, esp. those from different places.


And as anyone who's read Homer knows, this was Very Important. From Ancient Greek xenios, which was strictly the second meaning, from xenos, guest.
