Etymology

The word 'cosy' (or 'cozy' in American English) derives from the Scottish word 'cosy,' which means 'comfortable, sheltered.' The term has roots in Old Norse, coming from 'kós,' which means 'safe or snug.' Throughout the centuries, the word has evolved to encompass feelings of warmth, comfort, and relaxation, often associated with homey settings or intimate gatherings. The comparative form 'cosier' emerged to indicate a more pronounced sense of comfort, suggesting an enhancement of the original meaning. Over time, it has been commonly used in literature, conversation, and media to describe environments or experiences that promote a sense of well-being and snugness, particularly in relation to domestic life and personal relaxation.
