toilette

/twɑˈlɛt/

Rhymes with -ɛt

Where it comes from

Borrowed from French toilette; more at toilet.

noun toilettes

archaic Archaic spelling of toilet, in all senses related to dressing and personal grooming, but not a water closet. No such very great degree of genius can be displayed in the rest of the toilette. The dress has been chosen—it fits you à ravir—it has simply to be put on with mathematical accuracy: but the bonnet is the triumph of taste,—you must exert your intellect,—your destiny is in your own hands.
