Plural form of donzel; multiple young gentlemen, noblemen, or youthful attendants in historical or literary contexts.
Plural of 'donzel,' from the same Spanish/Latin origin (dominicellus, diminutive meaning 'young master'). Used in academic or literary discussions of medieval Iberian society.
When scholars discuss medieval Spanish or Portuguese literature, they often keep the original 'donzels' instead of forcing an English plural—it's a linguistic window into how those societies were structured!
Plural of donzel. See 'donzel' for gendered context.
If using historically, specify gender-neutral context or note the archaic gendered assumption.
