Hostes is a term of Latin origin that designates a troop or an army corps. Originally, however, this word was related as a synonymous with enemy.
from latin hostile (the same etymological root as "hostile"), this term was used to denote enmity or rivalry.
During the Middle Ages, the hosts were groups of vassals who provided military services to their overlords. In this context, it is concluded that hosts were workers who formed one of the lowest social classes of the time.

spiritual hosts
In religious studies, especially of Christian doctrine, the spiritual hosts (also known as "hosts of evil" or “hosts of evil”) are armies of beings commanded by the devil in the “realm of hell”.
This interpretation of the spirit hosts is seen in Ephesians 6.11.12:
“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may stand against the devil's cunning devices.
Because we don't have to fight against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the princes of darkness of this age, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness, in the places heavenly ones."
