valet

/væˈleɪ/

/ˈvælɪt/

Other forms: valets; valeted; valeting

A valet is like a butler: a servant who attends to his employer's needs.

A valet is a personal attendant to his employer, who might run errands, clean, cook, drive, or perform other tasks as needed. A valet works very closely with his employer and might even live on the premises. If you go to a fancy restaurant or hotel, you might have a valet park your car — but don't expect him to do your laundry!
