Root Explanation

The word 'quillow' is a blend of 'quilt' (from Old French *cuilte*, meaning a bed covering) and 'pillow' (from Old English *pyle*, meaning a cushion or support for the head). A quillow is a quilt that can be folded into a pillow, combining the functions of both items.

Memory Tip

Imagine a cozy quilt that can transform into a pillow — that's what a quillow is, blending the comfort of a quilt and the support of a pillow.
