homey · cosy, like home
aTake the word home and turn it into a feeling. The -y ending means 'having something of this', so homey is 'having something of a home about it'. The picture can be an ordinary room: warm yellow light, a chair that has been sat in for years, something cooking in the next room. Homey names the moment your shoulders drop when you walk in.
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」。

homey · friend from your area
nHere 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.
