Eric and I walked by a building on our way to the Big House and it said something about a "natatorium." Neither of us knew what it was…but the building was the intramural building, so we could speculate it had something to do with sports.
"Maybe it’s a swimming pool," Eric suggested. I tried to break down the word and figure out how it could mean swimming pool, but I couldn’t come up with anything.
As it turns out, Eric was correct. Here’s the definition:
[Late Latin nat
t
rium, place for swimming, from neuter of Latin
natt
rius, of swimming, from nat
tus, act of swimming, from past participle of
natre frequentative of n
re, to swim. See natatorial.]
