brothel
A brothel is a place where people may come to engage in sexual activity with a prostitute,〔() Definitions of brothel on the Web〕 sometimes referred to as a sex worker. Technically, any premises where prostitution commonly takes place qualifies as a brothel. However, for legal or cultural reasons, establishments sometimes describe themselves as massage parlors, bars, strip clubs, houses of ill repute, body rub parlours, studios or by some other description. Sex work in a brothel is considered safer than street prostitution.〔Sexuality Now: Embracing Diversity: Embracing Diversity - Page 527, Janell L. Carroll, 2009〕
==Etymology==
From the French ''bordel'', ca. 1200 "bordel" sing. "prostitution place". The French word ''bordel'' comes from the Old German word ''Bord'', which means "board". This word was used to describe the shacks made of boards in which prostitution occurred. The word ''bord'' was firstly transformed by the French to ''borde'', then quickly became ''bordel''.
Brothels are known under a variety of names, including bordello, cathouse, house of ill fame, house of prostitution, house of ill repute, strippy, knocking shop, pleasure house, strumpet house, sporting house, or whorehouse. Under English criminal law, a brothel is commonly referred to as a "disorderly house".
