noun

A darkroom is a space used for developing and printing photographs or other light-sensitive materials. It is typically a completely light-sealed environment, designed to prevent any external light from entering and affecting the developing process. The darkroom usually contains specialized equipment, such as enlargers, trays, and chemicals, which are used to develop and process photographic materials.
