“Couthie” is a Scottish dialect term, used as an adjective meaning “pleasant” or “cozy.” It comes from the Middle English “couth,” meaning “familiar.” In modern English, “couth” is more commonly used to describe something sophisticated or polished — and “uncouth” is the exact opposite. “Couthie” developed in Scotland to apply to people with a comfortable, kindly nature, or to situations that give off comfortable vibes.
