What is Hygge?

Book, mug and candles

Hygge (hyoo·guh) is a Danish and Norwegian word for a mood of coziness and comfortable conviviality with feelings of wellness and contentment.
The word hygge comes from a Danish word meaning "to give courage, comfort, joy". But it is also speculated that hygge might originate from the word hug. Hug comes from the 1560s word hugge, which means "to embrace". The word hugge is of unknown origin but is highly associated with an Old Norse term, hygga, which means "to comfort".
