Pyjamas or Pajamas (American English) are garments designed to be worn in bed, for those who do not prefer to sleep nude. Pyjamas are usually two-piece garments but may be one-piece garments (see one-piece pyjamas).
The word "pyjama" came by the way of the Hindi word pajama, originally from the Persian words پايجامه Payjama meaning "leg garment".
