cuddlev.

/ˈkʌd(ə)l/
Etymology: A dialectal or nursery word of uncertain derivation. Possibly a derivative of couth adj. in the sense ‘snug, cosy’: compare fondle < fond adjective. An original *couthle might become cuddle , as in Middle English fiðele , fithel , now fiddle n., the vowel being also shortened before the consonant group. (Close connection with the Middle English cudde , cuþþed , past tense of cuðen , kithe v., ‘to make known, (reflexive) to make themselves known, become friends together’, is not tenable, because u was here = ü, Old English y, as seen in Ormin's spelling kiþþed.) Another suggestion is that it is related to Dutch kudden ‘coire, convenire, congregari, aggregari’ (Kilian), < kudde flock, herd < Old Low German *kuddi = Old High German chutti. Further evidence as to its early use is wanted, there being at present known only one doubtful example before 1700.
