可以想成：把「家」這個字直接拿來當一種感覺用。home 加上 -y，就像在說「帶著家的味道的」。那個畫面比較像一間有點舊的房子：燈是黃的，椅子坐過很多年，廚房正在煮東西。homey 指的就是走進這種空間時，肩膀鬆下來的那一秒。所以它跟「新」「貴」「漂亮」沒有關係，跟「放鬆」有關係。From the word’s history
Wiktionary's entry derives this adjective from home + -y, tracing home back through Old English hām. The modern feeling sits right on top of that: something that has home in it.
字源資料把這個形容詞拆成 home 加上 -y，home 再往前追到古英語的 hām。今天的用法就疊在這條線上：某個地方「身上帶著家」。

Here the same spelling points at a person, not a place. One way to hold it: instead of a room that feels like home, this is a person who counts as being from your home side — someone from your street, your town, your crowd. The warmth is the same; it has just moved from a place to a person.
