About

The word 睡衣 is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 睡 (shuì), which means "to sleep", and 衣 (yī), which means "clothing". It is a straightforward, descriptive compound where the first character specifies the purpose or activity, and the second character specifies the category of object, resulting in the literal and intuitive concept of "sleep clothing" or pajamas.
