Cocooning (behaviour)

Cocooning is staying inside one's home, insulated from perceived danger, instead of going out.[1][2][3] The term was coined in 1981 by Faith Popcorn, a trend forecaster and marketing consultant.[4] It is used in social science,[5][6] marketing,[7] parenting,[8][9] economic forecasting,[10] self-help,[11] religion,[12] and has become part of standard English as defined by multiple dictionaries.
