A small, cramped hiding place or storage space; a tiny nook or corner.
From 'cuddy' (a small cabin or confined space) combined with 'hole,' creating a compound word describing an extremely small, enclosed area.
Children instinctively love cuddyholes because small spaces make them feel safe and protected—it's an instinct left over from when our ancestors hid from predators in caves.
