Etymology

The word 'duvet' originated in France in the mid-18th century. It comes from the Old French word 'duvet', meaning down, which in turn comes from the Latin word 'dลซcus', meaning soft. Originally, duvets were a luxury item filled with down feathers that only the wealthy could afford. Over time, they became more widely available and are now a common bedding item in many households around the world.
