The word "bath" traces back to Old English bæð, meaning "washing" or "immersion." It shares roots with Germanic languages (e.g., German Bad, Dutch bad) and likely derives from the Proto-Indo-European root bhe- ("to warm"). The concept evolved from communal washing practices in ancient cultures to modern personal hygiene. The spelling and core meaning have remained remarkably stable over centuries.
