cossetn.

Brit.

/ˈkɒsɪt/, U.S.

/ˈkɑsət/

Forms: Also 1700s cossart.

Etymology: Not found before the 16th cent.: derivation uncertain. Prof. Skeat ( Trans. Philol. Soc. 1889) has suggested that it is the same word as Old English cot-sǽta cot-sitter, dweller in a cot, cottar; compare the Domesday forms, plural coscez, cozets, cozez (z = ts). This is phonetically satisfactory, and the sense of ‘lamb dwelling in a cot’ or ‘kept by a cot-sǽta or cottar’ finds support in Italian casiccio a tame lamb bred by hand, < casa house; German hauslamm house-lamb and ‘pet’, is analogous. Compare also ‘Cotts, lambs brought up by hand, cades’, Marshall Rural Econ. E. Norfolk, 1787 (whence in Grose 1790). There is however a long gap between the coscez of Domesday and the cosset of 1579, during which no trace of the word in either sense has been found.

1. A lamb (colt, etc.) brought up by hand; a pet-lamb, cade-lamb. Also attributive as cosset lamb.
