Agreed cwtch is a lovely word with many meanings...

It is a cuddle, a cupboard...

The word has its origins in the Middle English word "couche" which meant a resting or hiding place. It was then adopted into the Welsh language to mean a cupboard. The word's origins also lie in the french word "coucher" which means to lie down. There are also early recordings of people telling their dogs to "cwtch in the corner". But during this century the word has also taken on the meaning to hug

There is now a pub in a Cardiff called Cwtch.....

Another lovely word is Cariad.........The welsh word for love.......
