A private sleeping cabin on a ship, train, or other vessel.
Compound word: 'state' (condition, or suggesting dignity) + 'room.' Originally meant a grand or formal room, then applied to a captain's or first-class cabin on ships.
On old ocean liners like the Titanic, your stateroom's size and location showed your wealth and importance—a first-class stateroom meant luxury, while steerage meant a crowded bunk below deck.
