Cosey

/ˈkoʊzi/ adjective

Definition

An alternative spelling of 'cozy,' meaning warm, comfortable, and intimate.

Etymology

A variant spelling of 'cozy' (also 'cosy' in British English), derived from Scandinavian roots, possibly from Old Norse 'kosinn' meaning 'to treat with affection.' The spelling 'cosey' is archaic.

Kelly Says

English spelling was wonderfully flexible before standardization—'cosey,' 'cosy,' and 'cozy' all meant the same thing, but American English solidified around 'cozy' while British English prefers 'cosy.'
