The dressing table is one of the examples of a rapid change in terminology. Originally in the 18th century it was called a toilet table, or simply a toilet, occasionally toiletta.[4] However, as the American word toilet changed its meaning to describe a toilet bowl and became a vulgarity[5] somewhere in the 19th century, the term dressing table (that was in use earlier as well) had quickly replaced the toilet in the US,[4] while the British, with their lavatory, were able to keep the word toilet neutral[5] and to retain the toilet terminology for longer.[4] The word toilette comes as a French diminutive form of toile,[6] a cloth that from Medieval times was spread on top of a table prior to using cosmetics.[1] For some time in the 18th century American English contained a spelling variant twilight table.[6]
