Interestingly "garderob" is the Swedish word for closet
Might be a germanic word that developed different meanings over time
Quite possible
Nah it's French, "garde robe" means "clothes[ancient french] holder[literally guard]". So literally just wardrobe.
Interesting that it became a loan word in Swedish tho, what a mindfuck. Dunno why the English borrowed it to describe toilets... I guess it does kinda look like a closet...?
