Etymology
The term 'restroom' originated in the United States in the late 19th century, as a euphemism for 'toilet room' or 'bathroom'. It was used to describe a room where one could rest or relax, in addition to using the facilities. Over time, the term became commonly used in public places such as restaurants, hotels, and other establishments to refer to the facilities where one could relieve themselves and freshen up.
