A tented canopy above the bed, a pretty Paisley pattern slightly tinged with mauve on walls and furniture, and a few exquisite little bits and pieces suffice to transform the bedroom into a boudoir.

The words right and rectum have a common origin. Right comes from Proto-Germanic *rehtaz ('straight; right; just'). This word shared a common Proto-Indo-European ancestor with Latin rēctus ('straight; right; just'), from which the medical term rectum ('straight terminal part of the large intestine') was derived. The infographic shows more.
