To pamper, coddle, or treat with excessive indulgence; to make much of someone.
Possibly derived from Romany 'kosher' (to stroke or caress), or from the Yiddish word that entered English. The term suggests treating someone with special favor or affection.
Ironically, 'kosher' (meaning legitimate or acceptable) and 'cosher' (meaning to pamper) may share roots—when something 'kosher' happens, people might 'cosher' the person responsible with praise.
