DUENNA (Span. duena, a married lady or mistress, Lat. domina)

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 643 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DRO-ECG
DUENNA (Span. duena, a married lady or mistress, Lat. domina) , specifically the
chief
  lady-in-waiting upon the queen of Spain. The word is more widely applied, however, to an elderly lady in Spanish and Portuguese households (holding a position midway between a governess and companion) appointed to take charge of the
young
  girls of the family; and "
duenna
  " is thus used in
English
  as a synonym for chaperon (q.v.).
