teahousen.

Brit.

/ˈtiːhaʊs/, U.S.

/ˈtiˌ(h)aʊs/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: tea n.¹, house n.¹

Etymology: < tea n.¹ + house n.¹With sense 1 compare (all with the literal sense ‘teahouse’) Persian čāyḵāna (and borrowings from this word in many languages of Asia and Eastern Europe), Chinese cháguǎn (17th cent.; superseding †cháwū ; already in Middle Chinese), Japanese chaya (15th cent.; probably after Chinese). With use with reference to a building used for the Japanese tea ceremony (see sense 1b) compare Japanese chashitsu , literally ‘tea room’. With use with reference to a place where geisha entertain compare Japanese chaya (17th cent. in this sense) and ochaya ( < o- , honorific prefix + chaya tea house). With use with reference to a guest house in Nepal (see sense 1c) compare Nepali ciyā ghar , literally ‘tea house’. With the first elements of these parallels compare the discussions at chai n.² and cha n. Early evidence. Quot. 1662 at sense 1a is from a table of contents; the main text of the book cites the longer Persian phrase chāy-yi khaṭṭāʾī khāna Cathay tea house (as does the 1659 French text it translates).

a. An establishment serving tea and, frequently, light refreshments.Originally and often still with reference to such establishments in Asia, esp. Iran (formerly Persia) and China, where customers can also, for example, smoke hookah pipes or drink alcohol (depending on context).In English-speaking countries, the term tearoom is now usually preferred in this sense, even when referring to an establishment which occupies the whole of a building.
