Comfort is a state of physical ease or emotional relief, where you feel safe, relaxed, or less troubled. It can also mean something or someone that makes you feel this way.
From Old French *confort* “strength, solace,” from Latin *confortare* “to strengthen greatly,” from *com-* “together” + *fortis* “strong.” It originally meant giving someone strength, especially in hard times, not just softness or luxury.
