In the 18th century, "the necessary" referred to a room or facility designated for toilet use, essentially the early concept of a bathroom or privy. It was a term used in polite society to discuss matters of personal hygiene discreetly. The phrase reflects the period's attitudes towards sanitation and modesty, as well as the evolution of domestic spaces during that time.

Should 18th century be hyphenated?

No, "18th century" should not be hyphenated. In this context, "18th" acts as an adjective modifying "century," and when using ordinal numbers in this way, hyphenation is not necessary. However, when used as a compound adjective before a noun, such as "18th-century art," a hyphen is required.
