Usage Note

Spogliatoio comes from spogliarsi (to undress) and refers to a changing room or locker room in a sports facility, pool, or theatre. Its plural is spogliatoi (-io → -i, dropping the final -o). Do not confuse it with camerino (a performer's dressing room backstage) — spogliatoio is specifically for athletes or general changing, while camerino is for performers.
