Definition
Soft, warm, and pleasant to hold or hug, or describing someone who is affectionate and loves hugging.
Etymology
From the verb 'cuddle' (origin uncertain, possibly from Old English) plus the suffix '-ly' to create an adjective. Cuddle itself likely comes from an imitative origin related to the idea of nestling close.
Kelly Says
Cuddly animals like otters and pandas are irresistible to us partly because they trigger our 'baby schema'—our brains find round features, big eyes, and soft textures absolutely adorable!
