How to Memorize

snug - comfy

Analysis

The word ‘snug’ is used in two main ways. Firstly, it refers to something that gives feelings of warmth, comfort, and protection. Such a place or item provides the opportunity for relaxation and contentment, so in that context, it is often used in relation to a location where you are living or staying, or an item situated there, like a chair or blanket. Secondly, it expresses something, such as clothing, that fits tightly and, occasionally, too tightly.

Example(s)

1. The weather on the coast was awful, but luckily we had rented a snug cottage where we could take shelter by a warm fire.

2. The heating is broken in the house, so I just wrap myself up snugly under my quilt when I watch television.

3. My favourite jumper is a little snug on me now, especially around the midsection. I’ve obviously put on a bit of weight recently.
