Morphology

cozy + home

The meaning 'a living space that is warm, comfortable, and inviting' is directly and transparently derived from 'cozy' (pleasantly warm/comfortable) modifying 'home' (house/residence). This adjective + noun composition is a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.

Etymology

The phrase cozy home creates a simple picture: cozy makes you think of a small, warm corner with soft chairs, blankets and maybe a fire, and home is the place you live. So, imagining that warm, safe place helps you remember it means 'a living space that is warm, comfortable, and inviting'.
