I'm not sure what the answer it but this is what the word means: ablution |əˈbloō sh ən| noun (usu. ablutions) the act of washing oneself (often used for humorously formal effect) : the women performed their ablutions. • a ceremonial act of washing parts of the body or sacred containers. DERIVATIVES ablutionary: adjective ORIGIN late Middle English : from Latin ablutio(n-), from abluere, from ab- ‘away’ + luere ‘wash.’ The original use was as a term in chemistry and alchemy meaning [purification by using liquids,] hence [purification of the body by washing] (mid 16th cent.).
