Etymology: A workroom is about as transparent as compounds get: "work" joined to "room," with the sense of a room set aside for labour. The pairing is ancient in its parts, since both words are native English, but the compound itself is a plain combination rather than a story of borrowing or reinvention. Its meaning follows the obvious path, from a literal room where things are made or repaired to any space given over to creative or practical tasks.

Synonyms: studio, workspace, shop, laboratory, office
