personage (複数形 personages)

1. A famous or important person.
   • 1872, Oliver Wendell Holmes [Sr.], The Poet at the Breakfast-Table, page 230:

     I can only say they have been in pretty close conversation several times of late, and, if I dared to think it of so very calm and dignified a personage, I should say that her color was a little heightened after one or more of these interviews.

使用する際の注意点

• (a famous または important person): In modern use, the noun personage is typically used with a partially redundant adjective, such as "notable" or "great"; as such, it may fairly be said to mean simply "person".
