cosiness
Homey, nestled feeling
Cosiness is the quality of being cosy—warm, comfortable, and pleasantly snug.
A room with soft lighting, blankets, and a fire has cosiness.
The word extends to atmospheres and relationships that feel intimate and secure: the cosiness of a small village, the cosiness between old friends.
British spelling; Americans write coziness.
