Word origin
The term 'slugabed' originated in the Middle Ages and was used to describe someone who lingered in bed past the usual time for waking up. The word combines 'slug' (meaning lazy or sluggish) and 'bed'. Over time, the meaning evolved to refer to a lazy person in general. In earlier times, it was also used to describe someone confined to bed due to illness or injury.
