cozy
Pleasantly snug feeling
Cozy describes a space or situation that is warm, comfortable, and pleasantly snug—usually small and enclosed: a cozy cabin, a cozy corner by the fire.
The word suggests intimacy and shelter from the outside world.
A cozy relationship between parties may imply suspiciously close ties: a cozy arrangement between regulators and industry.
A tea cozy is a padded cover that keeps a teapot warm.
