Morphology
The meaning 'a warm, comfortable, and inviting environment' is directly and compositionaly derived from combining 'cozy' (pleasantly warm and comfortable) with 'atmosphere' (emotional tone/ambiance). This adjective+noun pattern is common across languages and uses transparent, high-frequency vocabulary, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Cozy atmosphere makes you think of a small room by the fire; cozy suggests warm blankets and a comfy chair, and atmosphere is the feeling you get in the room. So, it means 'a warm, comfortable place that makes you feel relaxed'.
