As the above posters have noted it is from French, the meaning in English is:
eau de toilette is a more watered down version of eau de parfume.
Eau de toilette refers to a strength of perfume:
From strongest to weakest the perfume strengths are:
Parfum - usually only sold in tiny bottles and is very expensive
Eau de Parfum - quite concentrated
Eau de Toilette - less concentrated than eau de parfum (maybe 10% to 20% fragrance in 80%-90% ethanol) - the most common form of perfume or cologne (men's perfume)
Eau de Cologne - the weakest of the 4 strengths
So you don't have to worry about your restroom
