Origin Middle English (rare before the mid 19th century): via French from Latin latrina, contraction of lavatrina, from lavare 'to wash'. Although this was found in Middle English, it was rare before the mid 19th century. It came via French from Latin latrina ‘privy’, a shortening of lavatrina, from lavare ‘to wash’.
