Italian word
cozze
mussels
Looks like
cozy / cosset
cozy means warm and comfortable; to cosset means to pamper
⚠️ The trap
'Cozze' means mussels. No English word is closely related. The word sounds like 'cozy' to English ears but has nothing to do with comfort. 'Alla marinara' in Italy means 'sailor's style' — with garlic, olive oil and wine — NOT with tomato sauce (that is a US-Italian addition).
To say "cozy means warm and comfortable; to cosset means to pamper" in Italian:
cozza (singular) / cozze (plural)
"cozze" in English means:
mussels
Example
"Le cozze alla marinara sono ottime con il pane."
"Mussels in marinara sauce are great with bread."
