  Parlor \Par"lor\, n. [OE. parlour, parlur, F. parloir, LL.
     parlatorium. See Parley.] [Written also parlour.]
     1. 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; a
            room in a private house where people can sit and talk
            and relax, not usually the same as the dining room.
            [1913 Webster +PJC]
  
     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.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     2. A room in an inn or club where visitors can be received.
        [WordNet 1.5]
  
     Parlor car. See Palace car, under Car.
