Bathroom fixtures designed for men to urinate into while standing; can also refer to containers for collecting urine.
From Medieval Latin 'urinale,' derived from Latin 'urina' (urine). The fixture became standardised in the 19th century as indoor plumbing developed.
The first public urinals appeared in Paris in the 1800s to reduce street 'accidents,' and they're now such iconic city infrastructure that some famous pissoirs (ornate public urinals) are considered historical monuments!
