Le terme français "lingerie" est spécifique par rapport au terme anglais "utility room", ne faisant état que de l'un des principaux usages de la pièce en question. Le terme "buanderie" (relevé dans quelques dictionnaires bilingues dont le Dictionnaire moderne français-anglais, par Marguerite-Marie Dubois, Larousse, Paris, 1981, p. 741) a par ailleurs moins d'extension que le terme "lingerie", le premier se limitant à la lessive ou au lavage, et le second regroupant les aspects lavage, couture, repassage et rangement. 4, record 5, French, - lingerie
