Etymology
The word 'cuddly' is derived from the verb 'cuddle', which has roots in Middle English and is thought to stem from the dialectal term 'cuddlen', meaning to cuddle or to embrace closely. The addition of the superlative suffix '-iest' makes 'cuddliest' compare the level of cuddliness among multiple entities. The affectionate use of the term grew in popularity during the 20th century, particularly with the rise of children's literature and media that emphasized warmth and affection in familial and social relationships. The word evokes pleasant emotions and illustrates a desire for comfort, particularly in an increasingly digital world where human connection is sometimes replaced by technology.
