workplace where clothes are washed and ironed
"The staff at the hotel laundry work long shifts to keep all guest linens clean and pressed."
A laundering; a washing.
"The machine is still running, so our laundry will be ready in about an hour."
The word laundry comes from the Latin term lavandaria, which referred to a place for washing clothes. It entered English through Old French and Middle English as lavanderie.
