The word toilet was initially used for the fixtures that are installed in a small room used for elimination of human waste in a home, office, or a public place.

These were the rooms where ladies also flowed away their menstrual waste and sick people disposed off their vomit.

But in due course of time, the word toilet has come to refer more to the place or the room where these fittings are installed rather than fittings themselves.
