====Usage notes====
From the beginning of the 20th century, ''bathroom'' has been the generic word for a room with toilet facilities in American English,<ref>
{{R:GNV|water closet, bathroom, restroom, WC, lavatory, washroom, (mens room + men ' s room), (ladies room + women ' s room + ladies ' room)|corpus=17|startyear=1860}}</ref> whereas Britons have continued to say {{m|en|lavatory}} relatively more frequently, and often {{m|en|loo}} or {{m|en|WC}} for a room with a toilet but no bath.

In some contexts, ''bathroom'' refers more particularly to the toilet facilities of a private residence, distinguished from public buildings' {{m|en|restroom}}''s'' (US), {{m|en|washroom}}''s'' (Canada), {{m|en|men's room}}''s'', {{m|en|ladies' room}}''s'', etc.
