Etymology

The word "two-bedroom" is a straightforward compound adjective formed by combining "two" (from Old English "twā," meaning the number 2), "bed" (from Old English "bedd," referring to a sleeping place), and "room" (from Old English "rūm," meaning space or chamber). The term emerged in modern English to describe residential properties with exactly two sleeping quarters, reflecting practical real estate terminology. Its structure follows the common English pattern of number + noun compounding (e.g., "three-story," "four-door").
