A grisette had other employment and worked part-time as a prostitute whereas a Lorette supported herself exclusively from prostitution. The lorette shared her favours among several lovers; the Lorette's "Arthurs", as they called them, were not financially able or too fickle to have exclusivity. The lorettes evolved into coquettes under the Second French Empire and grues by the First World War. Origin of the name The neologism first appeared during the July monarchy (1830-1848).
