It is a commonly used term for a portable toilet, but the spelling is typically broken into two words: "porta" (from the Latin word porta, meaning "door" or "gate") and "potty."

While "port-a-potty" (with hyphens) is also used sometimes, "porta potty" is the most widely accepted and recognized spelling.
