Nest; a structure constructed by birds (and occasionally other animals) for sheltering eggs or offspring. By extension, it can refer metaphorically to a dwelling-place or protected enclosure, often with an emphasis on security and settled habitation. In some contexts, also used figuratively of homes or abodes for people, suggesting a place of safety, stability, or origin.
