Bathroom

A bathroom is a room in which people wash their bodies or parts thereof. It can contain one or more of the following plumbing fixtures: a shower, a bathtub, a bidet, and a sink. A toilet is also frequently included.

There are also specific toilet rooms, only containing a toilet.
In North American English, these tend to be called "bathrooms" or "half bathrooms", "washrooms", or "powder rooms" as a euphemism.
In British English, they are referred to as "the loo", "water closets" or "WC", "toilets", and occasionally "cloakrooms" – and also "lavatories" when they are public.
