The word 'Toilette' is a feminine noun in German. It can refer to both the fixture itself (the toilet) and the room containing it (the bathroom/restroom). In everyday German, 'Toilette' is commonly used, though 'WC' (pronounced 'veh-tseh') is also very common and understood. The word comes from French 'toilette' (originally meaning 'small cloth', then 'dressing table', then 'room for washing/dressing'). In German, it specifically refers to the room with the toilet. Note that in some contexts, especially in public places, signs might say 'WC', 'Toiletten', or 'Herren/Damen' (men's/women's).
