Jump to navigation Jump to search

Your second definition is doubtful. A lady in waiting was never a servant and certainly not the equivalent to a valet. A valet's equivalent is a lady's maid. 121.73.7.84 09:28, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


I haven't come across any quotations for sense 2: "A woman who is a maid or servant to a lady, similar to a valet for a gentleman." — SGconlaw (talk) 22:29, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
