The word "valet" typically refers to a person who is employed to assist with the personal needs of someone, often in a luxury context. This could include duties such as parking cars, running errands, or caring for clothing and personal items. In a more specific sense, a valet is someone who parks a guest's car at a hotel or restaurant.
The term "valet" comes from the Middle French word "valet," which means a servant or a young man. Its roots can be traced back to the Latin word "valet," meaning "he is strong" or "he is worth," indicating a man of lower status who serves wealthier individuals.
