Definition
A small apartment or room with a bed and sitting area combined, where someone lives; often used in British English for a tiny studio apartment.
Etymology
From 'bed' combined with 'sitter' (from 'sitting room'), a British term. This compound emerged in the early 20th century to describe cramped urban housing.
Kelly Says
The bedsitter became iconic in post-WWII Britain—these tiny combined bed-and-living spaces defined an entire generation of young workers and students, and inspired countless novels and films exploring urban loneliness and tight quarters.
