The word "cushioned" comes from the Middle English word "coinson", which was derived from the Old French word "coissin". It ultimately borrowed from the Latin word "coxinus", meaning "mattress" or "pillow". The Latin term was a variant of "coxa", which referred to the hip or thigh. Over time, "coinson" evolved to "cushion" in Modern English, and "cushioned" emerged as its adjective form.
