Definition
To sit close together in a comfortable, cuddly way, usually with affection.
Etymology
From Low German 'snuggen' or Scandinavian roots meaning to nestle; the cozy, intimate meaning developed in English by the 1600s.
Kelly Says
Snuggle is one of those words that linguists call 'phonesthemic'—the 'sn-' sound at the start actually triggers a feeling of closeness in English speakers' brains, which is why so many comfort words start with 'sn': snug, snooze, snap.
