Meaning and Origin:
A bathroom is a room in a house or building that is specifically designed for personal hygiene activities such as bathing, showering, brushing teeth, and using the toilet.
The concept of a dedicated room for bathing has existed for centuries, dating back to ancient Roman and Greek baths. In medieval Europe, bathing was often considered a luxury, and only wealthy households had dedicated bathhouses.
Over time, the bathroom became an essential feature of houses and buildings, and its design and amenities have evolved significantly. Modern bathrooms typically include a toilet, sink, bathtub or shower, and often additional features such as heated floors, towel warmers, and mood lighting.
