Definitions and meaning of toilet

toilet

Alternative forms

  • toilette (certain senses only)

Etymology

From Middle French toilette (small cloth), diminutive of toile (cloth), from their use to protect clothing while shaving or arranging hair. From its use as a private room, toilet came to refer euphemistically to lavatories and then to its fixtures, beginning in the United States in the late 19th century.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈtɔɪ.lət/, /ˈtɔɪ.lɪt/
  • Rhymes: -ɔɪlɪt

Noun

toilet (plural toilets)

  1. (UK, Australia, Hong Kong) A room or enclosed area containing a fixture used for urination and defecation (i.e. a toilet (sense 2)): a bathroom or water closet. [from 19th c.]
  2. A fixture used for urination and defecation, particularly one with a large bowl and ring-shaped seat which uses water to flush the waste material into a septic tank or sewer system. [from 19th c.]
    My toilet backed up. Now the bathroom's flooded.
  3. (figuratively) A very shabby or dirty place. [from 20th c.]
  4. (New Zealand) A small secondary lavatory having a fixture used for urination and defecation (i.e. a toilet (sense 2)) and sink but no bathtub or shower.
  5. (obsolete) A covering of linen, silk, or tapestry, spread over a dressing table in a chamber or dressing room. [17th–19th c.]
  6. (obsolete) The table covered by such a cloth; a dressing table. [17th–19th c.]
  7. (now historical or archaic) Personal grooming; the process of washing, dressing and arranging the hair. [from 17th c.]
  8. (now rare, archaic) One's style of dressing: dress, outfit. [from 18th c.]
  9. (archaic) A dressing room. [from 19th c.]

Usage notes

In the United States and Canada, toilet refers most directly to fixtures for containing or removing human waste. As such, although toilet was originally a euphemism itself, its use to describe the place where the toilets are located (e.g., "Where is the toilet?") is now considered somewhat indiscreet; instead, it is more common to employ other euphemisms such as bathroom, restroom, or WC.

Until the late 19th century, toilet referred solely to personal grooming, including bathing and hair care. This still appears in toiletries and in various set phrases, such as toilet water and toilet bag. This use is sometimes understood as a new borrowing from French, despite being the older sense of the English word. Medical jargon also includes some set phrases such as pulmonary toilet and toilet of the mouth; in both cases the word toilet means general hygiene.
