The explanation here for the origin of the term "wardroom" is not in accordance with authoritative sources such as the Oxford English Dictionary. It is in fact simply cognate to "guardroom" (the gu/w shift in French/Germanic versions of words being very common, cf. guard vs. warder). I recommend that the article be changed to remove the folk etymology.
