Etymology

The word "three-bedroom" is a compound adjective formed by combining the numeral "three" (from Old English þrīe, meaning the number 3) and "bedroom" (from "bed" + "room," referring to a sleeping chamber). This structure follows a common English pattern for describing property layouts (e.g., "two-story," "four-car garage"). The term emerged in real estate and architectural contexts to efficiently denote housing features.
