camerino — dressing room

🎭 camerino = camera + -ino: a little 'chamber' where actors change

Comes from Italian camerino, a diminutive of camera, meaning room or chamber. So it is literally a small room, which fits the tiny backstage space where performers change costumes and apply makeup. Don't confuse it with English camera.
