the only battlefield where surrendering at night means winning by morning.
means A piece of furniture, typically a frame with a mattress, on which a person sleeps or rests.
from From Old English 'bedd,' going back to a Proto-Germanic root 'badjam' (compare German 'Bett' and Dutch 'bed'). Some scholars trace it further to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning 'to dig,' suggesting the earliest 'bed' may have been a hollowed or dug-out sleeping place rather than a raised frame — which is also why we still speak of a 'garden bed' or the 'bed' of a river: a place scooped out and settled into.
