Meaning and Origin:
A pillow is a soft, padded cushion used to support the head and neck while sleeping or resting. It can also be used for decorative purposes.
The word "pillow" originates from the Old English word "pyle," which meant "a covering or cushion." It is derived from the Proto-Germanic *pulaiwa-, which is related to the Proto-Indo-European *pelH-, meaning "to spread out." This suggests that pillows were originally made of materials like straw or wool that were spread out to form a soft surface.
Over time, the meaning of "pillow" expanded to include any type of padded cushion used for support or comfort. Today, pillows come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and materials, and are often used in bedrooms, living rooms, and other areas of the home.
