- 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.
