Pajamas - online puzzles

Pajamas (US) or pyjamas (), often shortened to PJs or jammies, can refer to several related types of clothing originating from the Indian subcontinent. In the Western world, pajamas are loose-fitting garments derived from the original garment and worn chiefly for sleeping, but sometimes also for lounging, also by both sexes. More generally, pajamas may refer to several garments, for both daywear and nightwear, derived from traditional pajamas and involving variations of style and material.

The word pyjama was borrowed c. 1800 from the Hindustani pāy-jāma (پاجامہ‎ पाजामा), itself borrowed from Persian pāy-jāmeh پايجامه‎ lit. ' leg -garment'. The original pyjāmā are loose, lightweight trousers fitted with drawstring waistbands worn by many Indian Muslims, as well as many Sikhs and Hindus, and later adopted by Europeans during East India Company rule in India.
