The word "浴室" is formed by combining two meaningful characters: "浴" (yù), which means "to bathe" or "bathing", and "室" (shì), which means "room" or "chamber". It is constructed conceptually by directly joining the idea of the action ("bathing") with the idea of a specific type of space ("room") to logically create the compound concept of "a room designated for bathing", that is, a bathroom or shower room.
