bosom
Heart's figurative home
Bosom is the human chest, especially a woman's breasts or the area between them.
It suggests warmth and intimacy—to hold someone to your bosom is to embrace them closely.
A bosom friend is an intimate companion, close to your heart.
The bosom of something is its innermost part: the bosom of the family, the bosom of the church.
As an adjective, it means cherished or intimate: bosom buddy.
