Does the word "kitchen" seem odd to you?

I’ve read that it evolved from the Latin for “to cook”, but it just seems so odd…... The room that contains a bed is a “bedroom”, the room that contains a bathtub is the “bathroom”, the room that you spend time in is the “living room”, the place that you eat is the “dining room” – all literal and descriptive. Why didn’t it become the “cook room” or the “food room”?
