Morphology

snuggly = snug (transparent) = snug + ly

Meaning is directly derived from 'snug' plus the adjective/adverb-forming suffix '-ly', giving the sense of being cozy or suitable for cuddling.

Etymology

Snuggly comes from the short word snug ('comfortable' or 'fit tightly') plus the ending -ly, so it describes something soft, warm and perfect for cuddling.
