寢衣 (kyūjitai) |
Appears to be a coinage in Japanese from Middle Chinese-derived components, as a compound of 寝 (shin, “sleep”) + 衣 (i, “robe, gown, clothing”).
First attested in 1870 in a translation of Samuel Smiles' English-language book, Self-Help; with Illustrations of Character and Conduct.[1] This term thus may be a calque of English bed-clothes from the source text.
