It was the first word to mean toilet, but now it has almost been eliminated except in non-English speaking countries. WC is an abbreviation for Water Closet, which refers to a flushing toilet from one or two hundred years ago, which sounds relatively rudimentary; Nowadays, we can always use the word "toilet" to represent it, which reminds people of a clean and comfortable place. Remember, whether it's in public or in private homes, Toilet is always the most frequently used word for toilet in English, and you can never have a problem using this word.
It is said that – because I haven't been there before, I don't know if it's true – if you ask about WC in the United States, the other party probably won't understand it. In the United States, public toilets are generally called restrooms or rest centers. Women are a bit privileged in this regard, they can use the Powder Room, which is more urbane, literally a powder room, but actually a public toilet.
In addition, I once heard an American say that the toilet in a person's home is called a bathroom.
And then it's said - hehe, we haven't been to the UK either, so I don't know - the most commonly used name for toilets in the UK is Loo, it feels weird, it needs to be verified!
Of course, there is much more to the word for toilet in English! A few more that might be used:
Public Convenience refers to public toilets.
Lavatory, this word is also commonly used, especially on planes, trains.
Latrine, the toilets in the troops, barracks.
Wash Room, Washing Room, means toilet in American language.
Toilets are divided into men and women, and can be called Men's Women's, Gentleman Lady, Gent's Lady's, etc.
If you want to be more elegant when looking for a toilet, you can also say "where can I wash my hands?", without mentioning the above words for toilets
A more colloquial way to say this is: Where is John, please?
If you say you want to go to the toilet in the middle of a conversation, you can say "I wonder if I can go somewhere?"”
