TOILET / UNITAZ

[Vera Beljakova]

It is "toilet" or "lavatory" - 'closet' is very old fashioned.
Lavatory is very Engllish.
Toilet is a more recent loan word from French.
"Water closet" is even more old fashioned.

Everything else is only a euphamism, so I have never understood
'restroom' or 'bathroom', except rooms where one has a litle lie-down
or bathes.
