Water Closet, Lavatory with many others such as toilet, rest room, crapper, head, wash room
"WC" is an abbreviation of 'Water Closet'.The ubiquitous British "WC" of today owes its nickname to a phrase describing a convenient little room that was a mid-19th century alternative to the outdoor privy. Two versions of the room, with slightly different names, were in use in the US. What was the "WC's" full name, and what was the name for the other common version of this room?
