MODERATORS
Not sure why the downvotes but Wikipedia says you are right.
"Cwtch is a Welsh word that means a cuddle or embrace, often associated with feelings of warmth and safety. It can also refer to a small space or cubbyhole for storing things safely."
Asio on the cwtch website itself:
Cwtch /kʊtʃ/
Cwtch (/kʊtʃ/ - a Welsh word roughly translating to “a hug that creates a safe place”) is a decentralized, privacy-preserving, multi-party messaging protocol that can be used to build metadata resistant applications.
