bedsheet

/ˈbɛdʃiːt/ noun

A sheet, a piece of cloth cut and finished as bedlinen.

Word Origin Bedsheet is exactly what it says: a sheet for a bed. 'Bed' comes from Old English bedd, from a PIE root *bhedh- meaning to dig or bury — originally a sleeping place dug into the ground. 'Sheet' comes from Proto-Germanic skautaz meaning 'corner, flap, piece of cloth', related to 'shoot' (to project). So a sheet is a piece of cloth that projects or hangs. Together, they make the most basic bedding.
