What does BIDET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A low, oval basin, usually fitted in a bathroom, used for washing the genital and anal area.
A bidet sits beside the toilet in bathrooms across much of Europe, Asia, and Latin America, fitted with taps or a spray for washing rather than for bathing the whole body. The word came into English directly from French, where bidet originally meant a small horse, a comic borrowing tied to the idea of straddling the basin like a saddle. It remains far less common as a fixture in North American and British homes, though standalone bidet attachments and sprayers have grown more popular there in recent years.
