Morphology

toileting = toilet (semi-transparent) = toilet + ing

The word is built regularly from 'toilet' + -ing, but the public-health and facilities sense is specialized and less immediately obvious.

Etymology

Toileting also comes from the same root toilet, a word that became the name for a 'place' or act of washing, so it grew to mean the care, management, and facilities for toilets. That's why toileting can mean organising toilet services or the use and care of toilets to keep people safe and clean.
