Parlor \Par"lor\, n. [OE. parlour, parlur, F. parloir, LL.
   parlatorium. See {Parley}.] [Written also {parlour}.]
   A room for business or social conversation, for the reception
   of guests, etc. Specifically:
   (a) The apartment in a monastery or nunnery where the inmates
       are permitted to meet and converse with each other, or
       with visitors and friends from without. --Piers Plowman.
   (b) In large private houses, a sitting room for the family
       and for familiar guests, -- a room for less formal uses
       than the drawing-room. Esp., in modern times, the dining
       room of a house having few apartments, as a London house,
       where the dining parlor is usually on the ground floor.
   (c) Commonly, in the United States, a drawing-room, or the
       room where visitors are received and entertained.

   Note: ``In England people who have a drawing-room no longer
         call it a parlor, as they called it of old and till
         recently.'' --Fitzed. Hall.
