Etymology
Daydreaming is a simple combination of day and dream, where day means 'the time you are awake' and dream means 'something you imagine'; so it is like 'dreaming' during the day while awake. That's why daydreaming means letting your mind wander into pleasant or imaginative thoughts instead of paying attention.
