WORD HISTORY: 

Pillow-The ultimate origin of "pillow" is uncertain, although there is a rather "difficult" theory (I'm not totally sold on it, but it is the best we have) that "pillow" goes back to Indo European "pel," with the general meaning "dust," which was derived from the word's original meaning of "beat, hit," with the idea that grains were "beaten" to separate out the "chaff," with both "flour" (the end result of the entire process) and "chaff" then associated with "dust,"^ and chaff has long been used by some to fill pillows (understand, these were not necessarily the big fluffy pillows we often have today). Anyway, the theory is carried further with the Indo European form giving Latin the noun "purvis," meaning "dust," also "ashes," which then produced the noun "pulvinus," meaning "pillow, cushion." West Germanic borrowed the Latin form as "pulwi," and with the meaning of "pillow," and this gave Old English "pyle" (ending 'e' pronounced 'ah/eh'), which had a number of variants bridging Old English into Middle English, some of which were: "pylwe, pile, pylow, pilowe;" with "pillow" finally emerging as the winner; although it is often, but certainly not always, pronounced as "pillah."
