Origin
word may well be coinage of his. Hypopedia is a compound word from the Greek nouns hy'pnos "sleep" and paidela"child-rearing, eduction". Hy'ponis is a Greek of the Proto-Indo-European noun, sup-nos, from the root swep, swop, - sup- "to sleep". In pre-classical Latin, the noun swep-nos becomes swep-nos and finally swefen"sleep, dream" in old Enlish and sweven Middle English, e.g., in Piers Plowman and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Paideia is a derivative of noun pais(stem paid) - "child".
