I'm always interested in where we get our words from. I found, recently, that it's from the same root as Hostelier - so to do with people who helped run hostels/hotels. Historically - when the principal means of transport was horses - or horse-drawn vehicles - the word got narrowed to mean the people who looked after the horses.
