(This term derives from the French 'toilette' which connotes a broader idea of personal care and grooming, not strictly the restroom.)
A room or fixture designed for human urination and defecation, commonly referred to as a toilet, bathroom, or restroom. While derived from the French 'toilette', which originally encompassed a broader idea of personal grooming and hygiene, the Japanese word 'トイレ' specifically refers to the sanitary facility itself.
