Worldwide, there are several names for restrooms, such as loo, WC, and restroom. But not everyone is aware of what WC represents.
WC stands for “water closet,” a phrase from the 1870s when toilets were often installed in compact, closet-like chambers, as discovered by a TikToker.
Many others said they were unaware of what WC meant before the discovery, which caused shock and discussion on social media.
The term “water closet,” while it is often associated with public restrooms, originated in 19th-century England.
