The term "restroom" originates from the combination of "rest," meaning a place to relax, and "room," indicating a designated space. It was initially used in the late 19th century to refer to a public facility where people could take a break, often featuring amenities like seating. Over time, it evolved to specifically denote a bathroom in public places, emphasizing privacy and comfort. The term reflects a cultural preference for more euphemistic language regarding bodily functions.
