nightclothes

/ˈnaɪt.kləʊ(ð)z/ noun

Clothing worn while sleeping in bed, such as pyjamas or a nightgown, and, when worn over nightclothes, a robe.

Word Origin A compound of night and clothes — literally clothes for night. The word night is from Proto-Germanic nahts, related to nocturnal, and cloth is from Proto-Germanic klaiþaz, meaning garment. The -es is a plural suffix, so nightclothes are garments worn at night, like pajamas, and related words like nightgown and nightshirt share the same roots.

noun Clothing worn while sleeping in bed, such as pyjamas or a nightgown, and, when worn over nightclothes, a robe. countable
