Word origin
バスルーム (basurūmu) is a Japanese loanword from English bathroom, which combines bath with room to name a room for bathing.
Usage tips
- English speakers often use bathroom as a polite everyday term for a room containing a toilet, so the word does not necessarily imply that a bath is present.
