A low-ceilinged story or mezzanine between the ground floor and the first floor of a building.
From French entresol (entre between + sol ground), meaning a floor inserted between main levels.
Entresols let wealthy European buildings hide servants' spaces and utility areas between floors—it's a clever architectural hack that entire hidden economies ran in, with whole staff networks literally living between the floors that wealthy people could see.
