It doesn't.
It comes from Latin for "host", through Old French. Originally meaning "shelter for the needy", its use changed though the centuries. There are still some ancient homes for the elderly that have "hospital" in the name.
The same root gives us words such as "host" (obviously), "hospitality", "hostel", "hotel".
