pajama
🛌 Same word as pyjamas, from Persian pāy-jāma = leg + garment
English and Spanish both took it from Hindi/Persian pāy (leg) + jāma (garment), loose trousers. The Spanish j sounds like an English y: pee-YAH-mah. Spain says el pijama, while much of Latin America says la pijama, which is why it is marked mf.
