Morphology

toilet + room

The meaning 'a room containing a toilet' is directly and compositionally derived from 'toilet' + 'room' — a straightforward noun+noun description. Although the phrase may be slightly less common than "bathroom/restroom," the semantic relation is transparent and a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.

Etymology

Toilet room comes from old houses that had a small separate room for the toilet, not for taking a bath. That's why it means 'a room containing a toilet' today.
