Commode
A Commode is any of several pieces of
furniture.The
English word commode comes from
French roots meaning "convenient" or "suitable". Originally, in furniture it meant a
cabinet, with one or more doors, that served as a
washstand with a washbasin and water pitcher, and that also offered an enclosed area below for storing a
chamberpot. Convenience cabinets called commodes often furnished middle-class bedrooms before the days of indoor plumbing.
