Camden's Remaines (1614 ed.), p. 233: ‘Their hose are of two colours, or pied, with more, which with lachets which they called Herlots, they tie to their Paltocks, without any breeches.’ ΚΠ c1367 in F.

A female prostitute; (also) a mistress, a concubine. More generally: a wanton, lascivious, or sexually promiscuous woman. Also as a term of abuse or contempt for a woman.In many English-speaking regions now generally considered old-fashioned and chiefly used with historical reference or self-consciously for stylistic or humorous effect, but in parts of Africa often used interchangeably with prostitute (see Dict. Nigerian Eng. Usage (ed. H. Igboanusi, 2002), p. 135 and also harlot v. 1a, harloting n.).
