A night commode refers to the Victorian times where a bedside cabined closed by either one or two doors, enabled people to stoe a chamberpot which collected human waste and came accompanied by a washbasin and water pitcher for personal cleaning after use. These were usually found in middle-class bedrooms before the days of modern plumbning.
It was not until the 20th century until the term commode came to mean toilet.
