cuddlesome

/ˈkʌdəlsəm/ adj

Characterized or marked by cuddling; cuddly.

Word Origin From 'cuddle' (possibly from Old English cūthe 'known, familiar' — so to cuddle is to make someone familiar, to embrace) and the suffix '-some' (characterized by). Cuddlesome means affectionate, tending to cuddle. The same root cūthe gives us 'couth' (known, refined) and 'uncouth' (unknown, crude). The idea of cuddling as making familiar is sweet.
