English
Adjective
damely (comparative more damely, superlative most damely)
- Of, relating to, or befitting a dame (all senses)
- 2005, Rosemary Dinnage, Alone! Alone!: Lives of Some Outsider Women:
- Will she be remembered more as a character, thoroughly damely and commanding, or for her writings?
- 2015, Deborah Jermyn; Susan Holmes, Women, Celebrity and Cultures of Ageing:
- Instead of compromising her damely dignity, they arguably give a fuller sense of a well-rounded individual which runs counter to the usual (rather restrictive) cultural logic of what is appropriate for women over 60, and perhaps women of her particular class milieu especially.
