Morphology
cocooner + lifestyle
The compound is built from an agentive form of 'cocoon' plus 'lifestyle', so if a learner knows 'cocoon' (to shelter oneself) and 'lifestyle' they can plausibly infer 'cocooner lifestyle' as a home‑oriented, comfort‑seeking way of living. However, 'cocooner' is nonstandard/rare and relies on a metaphorical extension of 'cocoon', so the meaning is only partly predictable and may not be obvious to all B1 learners without prior exposure.
Etymology
Cocooner lifestyle comes from the image of a cocoon, where a caterpillar wraps itself to stay safe and warm, and lifestyle means the way someone lives. So a person with a cocooner lifestyle chooses to 'stay at home' and enjoy 'comfort' rather than go out.
