urinal


Etymology
The Spanish word 'urinario' comes from the Latin word 'urinarius', meaning 'relating to urine'. This Latin word was formed by combining two parts: the noun 'urina' (meaning 'urine') and the suffix '-arius' (meaning 'relating to' or 'connected with'). When Latin evolved into Spanish, 'urinarius' naturally developed into 'urinario', maintaining both its form and meaning as something related to urine or a place for urination (a urinal).
