Etymology
The word 'pajama' has its origins from the Persian word 'ูพุงุฌุงู ู' (pฤy-jฤmeh), which means 'leg garment'. The term first appeared in English in the early 19th century as a style of loose-fitting trousers worn by men in South Asia. British colonialists adopted the garment during their rule over India, and its popularity spread to Europe and North America, evolving into the modern form of sleepwear we recognize today. Initially used to describe the bottom half of a sleeping outfit, 'pajamas' eventually came to refer to the complete set of sleepwear, including both tops and bottoms, designed for comfort and relaxation during sleep.
