Etymology

The word 'pajamas' originates from the Persian word 'ูพุงูŠุฌุงู…ู‡' (pฤy jฤme), which means leg garment. The term was first introduced to the English language during the British colonial rule in India in the 19th century. Initially, pajamas referred to loose-fitting trousers worn by men in the East. Later, it evolved to describe the entire outfit for sleeping, which became popular in Western countries. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pajamas gained prominence in Western culture as more people adopted comfortable nightwear. Today, pajamas are available in various styles for men, women, and children, and are often seen as a symbol of comfort and relaxation.
