Cosset
To “cosset” – possibly from the Anglo-Norman for a pet lamb – is to treat with excessive indulgence; to pamper.
Example (as used by Benjamin Welles in Sumner Welles: FDR’s Global Strategist): “Sumner’s parents, for instance, were routinely attended by butlers, maids, coachmen and grooms, while little Sumner and his sister, Emily, were pampered and cosseted from infancy by nurserymaids and governesses.”
