Was the term 'water closet' from John Harington, who invented the toilet long ago? Water closet seems to mean either the toilet or a room with the toilet. Then the water closet which John Harington invented was a toilet bowl, its seat and water tank in the beginning, right? Was the closet 'the bowl' or the bowl and its accessaries such as the seat and the water tank?
