Resembling or characteristic of cooing; making soft murmuring sounds.
Formed from coo with the adjectival suffix -ey (also spelled -y), which transforms verbs and nouns into adjectives. This is a relatively informal or rare formation in English.
Words ending in -y or -ey are wonderfully productive in English slang and informal speech—cooey might not be in all dictionaries, but it's exactly the kind of word speakers naturally create when they need to describe something as 'having the quality of cooing.'
