Origin

Old English bed, bedd (noun), beddian (verb), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch bed and German Bett.

The core idea of this Old English word may be ‘digging’, as if the very first beds were dug-out lairs or hollows. Medieval uses of to make a bed refer to the preparation of a sleeping place on the floor of an open hall, one which would not have existed until ‘made’. The term bed and breakfast first appeared in the late 19th century—in 1910 a ‘residential hotel’ is recorded offering ‘Bed and breakfast from 4/-’ (4 shillings or, in modern British currency, 20 pence). In the 1970s the phrase began to describe the financial practice of bed-and-breakfasting, in which dealers sell shares late in the day and buy them back early the next morning to gain a tax advantage.
