nestle (NES-uhl) - v., to settle comfortably or snugly; to place or settle as if in a nest.


Frequentive of nest, using the continuous mode of frequency. FWIW, the frequentive was formed all the way back in Old English, though the additional meaning "to make a nest" was still current into Middle English.
