Professor Jonathan Haidt explains America's (and the world's) manufacture of intellectual snowflakes in a lecture linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The word “Coddle” is built on ancient words that mean |Warm (the modern meaning stems from the #Caudle, a 'Warm' Drink made for |Invalids---coining the term for 'making |Effeminate by Pampering or |Treating Tenderly' in Jane Austen's "Emma").
