A lobby can be:
- An entryway or waiting area, such as a foyer, from the latin word lobium, or vestibule.
- A generic term for groups involved in lobbying, such as the "petroleum lobby" or "environmental lobby", or as a verb such as "trying to lobby Parliament or Congress to change the law".
''(Ed. note: The first use of "lobbyist" has been attributed to a U.S. president, sometime around 1837. It seems impossible to find any info to confirm or refute this however. Can anyone else find anything on this?)
