To wash your entire body in water, or to soak something in liquid for cleaning or other purposes.
From Old English 'bathan,' related to Old Norse 'batha' and Old High German 'badan,' from Proto-Germanic *baðan, meaning to soak or warm in liquid.
Romans invented the public bathhouse as both a social gathering place and a public health measure, and the architecture of their baths influenced bathroom design for nearly 2,000 years—your modern shower owes a debt to Roman innovation!
