About This Quote

The word "sheet" originates from the Middle English "sheeth", which in turn came from the Old English "seahte", meaning cloth or sheet. It was not until the 19th century when writers began using the word "sheet" in place of the more generic "blanket". This usage is derived from the Middle English "sheeth", meaning bedclothes.
