'snuggle' originates from the English dialect, specifically the word 'snug,' where 'snug' meant 'to lie close or comfortably.'

'snug' changed from the Old Norse word 'snugga' and eventually became the modern English word 'snuggle.'

Initially, it meant 'to lie close or comfortably,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to settle or move into a warm, comfortable position.'
