Origin:
The term "lavatory" dates back to the late 16th century, when it was used to refer to a place or vessel designated for washing. It was originally derived from the Latin verb lavare, meaning "to wash" or "to bathe."
Over time, the term "lavatory" became specialized to refer to a specific room or fixture in a building that was specifically intended for washing and personal hygiene. This included tasks such as washing hands, brushing teeth, and using the toilet.
In modern usage, the term "lavatory" is often used interchangeably with "bathroom" or "toilet," although some regions may have different preferences for these terms. However, in some formal or historical contexts, "lavatory" may still be used to refer specifically to the room or fixture that contains the sink, while "bathroom" or "toilet" may be used for the room as a whole.
