Perhaps you should check all entries that have either cosy (e.g., 暖烘烘/暖融融) or cozy (e.g., this) and include both spellings to facilitate searches.
-------------------------------------------

Editor:
If you want to look up the Chinese for an English expression, using cc-cedict should be a last resort.
It's optimized as a Chinese-to-English dictionary, not the reverse.
We don't clutter the definitions of Chinese words with multiple spellings of the same word, or include superfluous synonyms, etc.

That's why cc-cedict's format guidelines specify that we use American English:
"American English should be used for the English definitions."
https://cc-cedict.org/wiki/format:syntax#basic_format

(It's not because we are Americans, btw. Most of the people currently volunteering on cc-cedict aren't American.)

If you want to go from English to Chinese, use an English-Chinese dictionary instead, such as Cambridge.
There, you can look up either "cosy" or "cozy", and the results are much better than what you get from a Chinese-English dictionary like ours.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english-chinese-traditional/cosy
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english-chinese-traditional/cozy

If you have trouble reading the Chinese definition, there are tools that can help, such as Zhongwen for Chrome.
Or you can paste the Chinese into MDBG's text box ~ https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary#text
You can also paste a Chinese definition into Google Translate, and the pinyin for each word will be displayed.

Anyway, "cozy" appears to be the usual American spelling, so I'm changing 'cosy' to 'cozy' in our entries.
