Root Explanation

Bedframe → The word is formed from "bed" (from Old English *bedd*, meaning a sleeping place) and "frame" (from Old French *frama*, meaning a structure or support). A bedframe is a structure that supports a bed.

Think of a 'bed' as a place to sleep and a 'frame' as the structure that holds it up — together, they create a supportive sleeping area.
