What does COSSET mean in Scrabble?
verb
formal
To treat someone or something with great care and indulgence, often more than is necessary.
To cosset someone is to shield them from every discomfort, much as a farmer once cosseted a hand-reared lamb that had lost its mother. The word carries a hint of criticism, suggesting that the care given goes beyond what is good for the person receiving it. A cosseted child or employee is protected so thoroughly that they may never learn to manage difficulty alone.
How COSSET is used
Often used critically, implying overprotection rather than simple kindness.
- Her parents cosset her far too much for a girl of twenty.
- The resort promises to cosset guests with every comfort imaginable.
- He was cosseted through school and struggled once he left home.
- Staff cosset the visiting dignitaries at every stage of the tour.
