Plural of clubroom; rooms used as meeting spaces or lounges by members of a club or organization.
From club (a group of people meeting for a common purpose, from Old English clubbe meaning a thick stick) + room (from Old English rum meaning space or area). The compound emerged in the 18th century as clubs became more formalized social institutions requiring dedicated spaces.
Clubrooms were crucial to the development of democracy and social movements—coffeehouses and club rooms in 18th-century Europe became the birthplaces of revolutionary ideas, newspapers, and political parties before anyone could organize online.
