PRIVY
A privy is an old-fashioned or formal term for a toilet, especially one located outside of a main building. It's also used in the phrase "privy to" meaning having knowledge of something private or secret. The word originates from the Latin "privatus," which means private, reflecting its association with personal or confidential matters.
