Etymology

1. O.E. bed "bed," from P.Gmc. *badjam "sleeping place dug in the ground" (cf. M.Du. bedde, O.H.G. betti, Ger. bett, Goth. badi), from PIE base *bhedh- "to dig, pierce," cf. Hittite beda- "to pierce, prick," Gk. bothyros "pit," L. fossa "ditch," Lith. bedre "to dig," Bret. bez "grave." Both "sleeping" and "gardening" senses are in O.E. Meaning "bottom of a lake, sea, watercourse" is from 1586. The verb meaning "to sleep with" is c.1315. Bedridden is O.E. bedreda, from rida "rider," with -en due to analogy of pp. adjectives. Bedstead (1440) is strictly "the place occupied by a bed." Bedroom (1616) replaced M.E. bedchamber. First record of slang bedroom eyes is 1940s. Bed-bug is from 1809.
