助記提示
1. 睡衣早已成為西方生活方式的象征。說到這個詞的起源，你也許會大跌眼鏡，因為如此“洋味”十足的東西竟是個地道的外來詞。原詞paejama來自北印度語，它由波斯語中的pai和jamah兩個詞組合而成。pai在波斯語中表示“腿”，而jamah表示“衣服”。pajamas顧名思義就是腿部的服裝——褲子。這本是一種中東和印度人外出穿的寬松褲子，然而歐洲殖民者們別出心裁賦予了它新的作用——睡褲。起初并沒有睡衣，后來睡褲傳到寒冷的歐洲后，人們才發(fā)明了睡衣。
2. pajama =》爸爸媽媽在家里穿的東西，當然就是“睡衣”了。
3. paejamah, literally "leg clothing," from pae "leg" (from PIE *ped- "foot," see foot (n.)) + jamah "clothing".

英文詞源
- pajamas (n.)
- 1800, pai jamahs "loose trousers tied at the waist," worn by Muslims in India and adopted by Europeans there, especially for nightwear, from Hindi pajama, probably from Persian paejamah, literally "leg clothing," from pae "leg" (from PIE root *ped- (1) "foot," see foot (n.)) + jamah "clothing." Modern spelling (U.S.) is from 1845. British spelling tends toward pyjamas.
