A valet or varlet is a male servant who serves as personal attendant to his employer. In the Middle Ages and Ancien Régime, valet de chambre was a role for junior courtiers and specialists such as artists in a royal court, but the term "valet" by itself most often refers to a normal servant responsible for the clothes and personal belongings of an employer, and making minor arrangements. In the United States, the term most often refers to a parking valet, and the role is often confused with a butler.

  • Valeto laŭ la plej kompletaj vortaro de Esperanto estas evitinda vorto por ĉambristo, en pli larĝa senco servisto: Valeto (de la franca forto valet aŭ varlet, de vassellittus en la vulgara latino, "juna nobelulo, paĝio", diminutivo de vasallus en la mezepoka latino, "servanto", komparu la Esperantan vorton vasalo) estas termino por masklaj servistoj kiuj servas kiel personaj helpantoj al ties dungantoj. En la Mezepoko kaj Antikva Reĝimo, la franclingva esprimo valet de chambre utilis por aludi al la rolo por junaj korteganoj kaj specialistoj kiaj artistoj en reĝa kortego, sed la termino valet per si mem plej ofte referencas al normala servisto responsa pri la vestoj kaj personaj propraĵoj de dungistoj, kaj kiu faras minorajn aranĝojn. La esperanta neologismo spegulas la francan signifon. (eo)

  • Con la parola valletto, termine ormai in disuso, si identificava la figura di un giovane servitore, altrimenti detto "paggio" o "garzone" o "donzello" o "scudiero" o, più modernamente, "attendente", al servizio presso un nobile o un militare di alto rango. Il termine deriva dal francese valet, abbreviazione di vasselet che a sua volta deriva dal latino medioevale vassallus. Nel ventesimo secolo la parola valletto indicava tradizionalmente l'inserviente, per lo più in divisa, che negli alberghi è addetto all'ascensore, all'autorimessa o al trasporto dei bagagli ai piani.
