  1. a basin for washing the hands

Word origin

From the Christian ritual, which was traditionally accompanied in Catholicism by a recitation of Psalm 25:6 (Psalm 26:6, in the Hebrew and in most modern translations) which in Latin begins with the word lavābō (“I will wash”). The sense of "room with a toilet" developed under the influence of lavatory and lav.

Used in a sentence

  • These small liturgical towels got […] the name of Lavabo cloths or Lavaboes.
  • […] the […] pontiff, as he […] moved his hands […] at the Lavabo, or at the various benedictions […]
