1. 睡衣早已成为西方生活方式的象征。说到这个词的起源，你也许会大跌眼镜，因为如此“洋味”十足的东西竟是个地道的外来词。原词paejama来自北印度语，它由波斯语中的pai和jamah两个词组合而成。pai在波斯语中表示“腿”，而jamah表示“衣服”。pajamas顾名思义就是腿部的服装——裤子。这本是一种中东和印度人外出穿的宽松裤子，然而欧洲殖民者们别出心裁赋予了它新的作用——睡裤。起初并没有睡衣，后来睡裤传到寒冷的欧洲后，人们才发明了睡衣。
2. pajama =》爸爸妈妈在家里穿的东西，当然就是“睡衣”了。
3. paejamah, literally "leg clothing," from pae "leg" (from PIE *ped- "foot," see foot (n.)) + jamah "clothing".
- 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.
