A toilet room, often shortened to just toilet, may also be called a lavatory, or WC, short for "water closet".
In places such as North America where the norm in residences is for there not to be a separate room, the toilet is almost always in the bathroom and a separate room may be referred to euphemistically as a bathroom or "restroom", washroom,〔Zoltan Kovecses, ''American English: An Introduction'', Peterborough, Ontario: Broadview, 2000, ISBN 9781551112299, (p. 253 ). All the common words for toilet were originally euphemisms, including "toilet": Lyle Campbell, ''Historical Linguistics: An Introduction'', 2nd ed. Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT, 2006, ISBN 9780262532679, (p. 263 ).〕 "half bath" or "powder room". This is often downstairs, with a sink, primarily for the use of guests.〔
Informal words for the toilet, such as "loo", "Room 100", "lav" (lavatory), "clo" (closet), "john", "head" (from boating), and "the necessary" may also be used to refer to the room.
