Definition
French word meaning 'dancing' or 'that dances,' used in English mainly in the phrase 'thé dansant' (tea dance with dancing).
Etymology
From French 'danser' (to dance) plus the present participle suffix '-ant,' literally meaning 'dancing' or 'one who dances.' Borrowed directly from French into English for cultural contexts.
Kelly Says
The phrase 'thé dansant' was huge in upper-class European culture—it was the socially acceptable way for young people to dance together in the afternoon while technically still at a proper tea party!
