"outhouse"의 정의 및 의미

What is an "outhouse"?

An outhouse is a small, basic building located outside of a home, typically used as a toilet. It is often a simple structure with a hole in the ground for waste, and it may have a seat or bench placed over the hole. Outhouses were commonly used in rural areas or places without plumbing before indoor bathrooms became common. They are usually made from wood or other basic materials and can vary in size and design. Though less common today, outhouses are still used in some remote areas or for camping.
