What's an 'ensuite'?

Mary


Not sure wether Im gonna look a bit daft answering this but here
goes.......fingers crossed.....


No, you don't look daft at all.

Is it a toilet/bathroom/shower-room thats added on to a bedroom ?


Oh. That's properly described as a bathroom en suite - as part of the whole
set of rooms. An "ensuite bathroom". Or even en suite or en-suite. I know of
no noun "ensuite".


It comes from the same dictionary of non-words that retailers use.
"Instore" comes from there as well.
