also: ふしどころ
noun
Archaic or literary term for a place to sleep; in modern Japanese, 寝室 (しんしつ) or ベッドルーム are far more common. May appear in historical texts or poetry.
古い物語では、貴族の臥所が絹の布団で飾られていたと記されている。
In old tales, it is written that the noble's bedchamber was adorned with silk futons.
「臥所」は現代ではほとんど使われず、代わり
Nowadays, 臥所 is hardly used; 寝室 is the common word instead.
Variant spelling with okurigana; equally archaic.
Kana spelling for the alternate reading ふしどころ.
Compound of 臥し (ふし, continuative form of 臥す 'to lie down') + 所 (どころ/ど 'place'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word follows a common pattern for location nouns.
