What does VALET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A male personal attendant who takes care of another person's clothes, belongings, and daily needs.
Historically a valet worked inside a wealthy household, brushing coats, polishing shoes, and packing luggage for travel, a role often shown in period dramas set in grand country houses. The same word has been borrowed into modern service industries, so a hotel or restaurant valet now usually means someone who parks a guest's car rather than someone who dresses them. Both senses share the same core idea: a valet performs small, personal tasks on someone else's behalf.
