- pillow
- pillow: [OE] Pillow in a recognizable form emerged in the 14th century. It was based on an inflected form of Old English pyle ‘pillow’. This came via a prehistoric West Germanic *pulwīn (source also of German pfühl and Dutch peluw ‘pillow’) from Latin pulvīnus ‘pillow’, a word of unknown origin.

Modern spelling is from mid-15c. Pillow fight (n.) attested from 1837; slang pillow talk (n.) first recorded 1939.
