cubicle
Semiprivate work area
A cubicle is a small partitioned workspace in an open office, typically furnished with a desk, chair, and low walls that provide minimal privacy.
The word evokes the monotony of corporate work: He spent thirty years in a cubicle.
More generally, a cubicle is any small enclosed space—a changing cubicle at a pool, a toilet cubicle in a public restroom.
