A bathtub, especially a luxurious or decorative one; also a term for a theater box-seat.
From French baignoire, literally 'bathing place,' from baigner (to bathe); also adopted in English for specific types of theater seating resembling bathtub shapes.
The term baignoire for theater seats comes from their shape—they're curved and intimate, designed so you feel enclosed like you're in a private bath—and wealthy theater-goers loved them for romantic dates or showing off their fancy clothes.
