The history of the modern flush toilet goes back to 1596, when Sir John Harington described an early flushable toilet, while in 1775 Alexander Cumming patented an improved design featuring a water trap that helped block sewer gases. As indoor toilets became more common in the 19th century, \u201cwater closet\u201d became a familiar term, and WC eventually became a short, internationally recognized label, especially in Europe. In the United States, \u201cbathroom\u201d and \u201crestroom\u201d became more common, which is why many Americans mainly encounter WC when traveling abroad\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-12.png 820w, https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-12-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-12-768x959.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The two letters WC, often seen on restroom doors in hotels, airports, and public places, stand for \u201cwater closet,\u201d an old English term for a room containing&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15344"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15344\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15346,"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15344\/revisions\/15346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
