Meaning and Origin
A cloakroom is a designated room where people can store their coats, hats, and other outer garments while they are in a public building or event. It originated in the 18th century as a small room adjacent to ballrooms or theaters where guests could leave their cloaks and other belongings.
Over time, cloakrooms became more common in various public places, such as museums, libraries, offices, and restaurants. They provide a convenient and secure place for guests to keep their belongings while they are away from their seats.
In some cases, cloakrooms may also be used to store bags, umbrellas, and other personal items. They are typically staffed by an attendant who keeps an eye on the belongings and may provide assistance to guests.
