Proper noun

Betsy

  1. A diminutive of the female given name Elizabeth.
    • 1993, Phillip Margolin, Gone But Not Forgotten, Bantam Books, →ISBN, page 25:
      No one ever called Elizabeth Tannenbaum stunning, but most men found her attractive. Hardly anyone called her Elizabeth, either. An "Elizabeth" was regal, cool, an eyecatching beauty. A "Betsy" was pleasant to look at, a tiny bit overweight, capable, but still fun to be with. Betsy suited her just fine.
