Etymology

The word "bedroom" is a straightforward compound of "bed" (from Old English bedd, meaning "sleeping place") and "room" (from Old English rūm, meaning "space" or "chamber"). It emerged in Middle English (14th century) to describe a designated sleeping area, reflecting the functional division of domestic spaces in homes. The morphemes retain their original meanings, making the word highly transparent for learners.
