Morphology

bathroom = bath + room (transparent) = bath + room

Direct combination of 'bath' + 'room' meaning a room for bathing; modern usage commonly extends to include a toilet and sink.

Etymology

Bathroom is simply bath + room. The bath part comes from an old word for 'washing' and room means 'a place', so a bathroom is the room where you wash and take care of yourself.
