A schoolboy who attends school during the day and returns home in the evening, rather than boarding at school.
Compound of 'day' and 'boy,' used in British educational contexts to distinguish day students from boarders who lived at school.
Dayboys in British schools were often considered less privileged than boarders, yet they got to actually live normal childhoods at home—a trade-off that changed how they saw school forever.
