chartroom

/tʃˈɑɹtɹum/ noun

A room on a ship where charts can be consulted.

Word Origin Chartroom is a compound of chart, from Greek khartes 'papyrus, paper' (originally a sheet of papyrus), and room, from Proto-Germanic *rūmaz 'space' (related to the PIE *reu- 'to open, space'). So a chartroom is a space for maps and papers. Chart also gives us charter (a written document), cartography (map-drawing), and card (a piece of paper). Room gives us bedroom, bathroom, and the adjective roomy.
