Ir appeared in France in the 14th Century as a cover for clothes, from a similar word meaning 'cloth net'. From this the word evolved into the act of getting dressed. In the early 16th Century it became the word for a dressing room. In the early 19th Century the word referred to a dressing room with a toilet or lavatory. A little later the word referred to a dressing room with a toilet and a bath. The word slightly changes its meaning in accordance with modern hygienic conditions and the individuals imterpretation
