Cosseted means to be treated with great or excessive care, often implying pampering or indulgence. It can refer to someone who is spoiled or overly cared for.

I learned a new word! I thought it was "closeted" and I was like "I get it, gay people are wealthy". Well, is that even remotely true? I thought. No probably not! So what the heck do they mean?

You learned two words in one! It comes from a 16th century word "cosset" which was a pet lamb raised by hand.
