'huggable' originates from the English word 'hug,' which is believed to have Scandinavian roots, specifically the Old Norse word 'hugga,' meaning 'to comfort.'

'hugga' transformed into the Middle English word 'huggen,' and eventually became the modern English word 'hug.'

Initially, it meant 'to comfort or console,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to hold closely in one's arms.'
