A Scottish term for a small donkey or a young inexperienced person; also a small cabin on a boat.
From Scottish dialect, likely diminutive of 'cod' or related to Old Norse 'koddi' meaning a woolen hat or cover, evolving to mean a small enclosed space.
Sailors called their tiny cabin a 'cuddie' because it was as cramped as fitting yourself into a woolen hat.
