All the clients or regular customers of a business or professional. It can also suggest a typical type of customer that a place attracts.
From French "clientèle," from Latin "clientela" meaning "body of clients or dependents." It has always referred to a group rather than a single person.
If a client is one person, a clientele is the whole ecosystem of them. When people talk about a restaurant’s "clientele," they’re really describing the social vibe the customers create together.
