Etymology: "Coseys" is simply the plural of "cosey," the word for a padded cover that keeps a teapot or boiled egg warm. The singular is the form to trace: the word belongs to the family of "cosy," the English adjective for something snug and comfortable, and the two spellings have long been used interchangeably for the warming cover. Both forms carry the same core idea of warmth and shelter, so a cover for a kettle and a room that feels like a refuge are the same word in different guises.

Synonyms: cozies, covers
