The word bathroom means “a room with a bath”.　Because the traditional bathtubs have partly made way for modern showers, including steam showers, the more general definition is “a room where one bathes”. There can be just a shower, just a bathtub or both; and often both plumbing fixtures are combined in the bathtub. The room may also contain a sink, often called a “wash basin” or “hand basin” and often a “lavatory”.　

In the United States, “bathroom” commonly means “a room containing a lavatory”. In other countries this is usually called the “toilet” or alternatively “water closet” (WC), lavatory or “loo”. The word “bathroom” is also used in the U.S. for a public toilet (the more formal U.S. term being “restroom”), are called “Full Bath”
