Definition of pajamas

pajamasnoun

bộ đồ ngủ

/pəˈdʒɑːməz//pəˈdʒæməz/

The word "pajamas" has an interesting origin. The term originated in the Indian subcontinent, specifically in the Mughal Empire, where it was known as "paejama" or "paejamae." It referred to loose trousers worn by the local inhabitants, including the nobility, as a comfortable and practical garment for lounging at home. The word was adopted into European languages, including English, and was initially spelled as "pyjamas" in the 18th century. The term became popular in the West, particularly in the Victorian era, as a fashion trend. While initially worn as a garment by both men and women, it eventually became a staple of men's sleepwear. Today, the term "pajamas" is widely used in many languages to refer to comfortable sleepwear, usually consisting of loose-fitting pants and a shirt or robe. The origins of the word "pajamas" reflect the cultural exchange and influence between East and West, and its evolution over time reflects changing fashion and lifestyle trends.
