Abbott-Smith put it more succinctly:c. of travelers, to halt on a journey, to put up, lodge (the figurative expression originating in the circumstance that, to put up for the night, the straps and packs of the beasts of burden are unbound and taken off; or, perhaps more correctly, from the fact that the traveler's garments, tied up when he is on the journey, are unloosed at its end; cf. ἀναλύω, 2): Luk 9:12; Luk 19:7; so in Greek writings from Thucydides, Xenophon, Plato down; the Sept. for לוּן, Gen 19:2; Gen 24:23, Gen 24:25, etc.; Sir. 14:25, 27 Sir. 36:31; (cf. Buttmann, 145 (127)).
And by the way, ever wonder why an inn / lodge / guest chamber is called a κατάλυμα? It seems to come from this sense of the word καταλύω. Statistics: Posted by Jonathan Robie — June 19th, 2017, 6:58 pm2. to unloose, unyoke ( e.g . horses), hence intrans ., of travellers ( cf. κατάλυμα ), to take up one's quarters, lodge ( cl ., Ge 192, al. ): Luk 9:12; Luk 19:7. †]
I've been looking at the usage of καταλῦσαι in Luke 19:7 and am a bit stumped why it's translated as "to be the guest of" (or a variation thereof) instead of to abolish, destroy, dissolve, etc., In light of the overall passage, it doesn't make sense to use a derivative of abolish but I don't understand either why it deviates so much from the other usages (i.e. Matthew 5:17, 61; Acts 5:39) Statistics: Posted by Matt Lahey — June 19th, 2017, 6:47 pm
I find Thayer's description plausible:

Scotty Searan Joseph D. Absher comments?
I remember when he came calling
αταλῦσαι in Luke 19:7 and am a bit stumped why it’s translated as “to be the guest of”
Jesus was on the road. Zachaus welcomed him into his home. Jesus didn’t own the home. He was a guest. Like you or anybody else. Hungry. And doing God’s will. Bringing household salvation. Zachaus got his wish. Front row. With a little adjustment lol. Goes to show you anybody can stand tall in Jesus Christ. He’s the boss of bosses!
Jesus was the guest, but he wasn’t a friend. If Zacheus did all he said , Jesus Christ made a friend.
Just because you invite someone to be your guest does not make you a friend.
The man knew his sin and came clean. We could use some more of that
That is the effect we should have when we walk into a room
Smith Wigglesworth had that kind of effect
When is the last time someone climbed a tree to see you? Me neither.
