Cosher

/ˈkɑːʃər/ verb

Definition

To pamper, coddle, or treat with excessive indulgence; to make much of someone.

Etymology

Possibly derived from Romany 'kosher' (to stroke or caress), or from the Yiddish word that entered English. The term suggests treating someone with special favor or affection.

Kelly Says

Ironically, 'kosher' (meaning legitimate or acceptable) and 'cosher' (meaning to pamper) may share roots—when something 'kosher' happens, people might 'cosher' the person responsible with praise.
