Originally a seventeenth century term meaning a morning assembly or reception of visitors (including diplomatic envoys) held by a prince on rising from his bed (from the French ‘se lever’, to rise or get up).
Levee, or levée, subsequently came to mean a reception of visitors by a prince or president, or the representative of either, at any time of day. |
