Cooeyed

/ˈkuːid/ adjective

Definition

Having characteristics of cooing; sounding like or producing coos.

Etymology

Past participle or adjectival form created by adding -ed to cooey or directly from coo + -eyed. The -ed suffix can create adjectives describing having undergone an action or possessing a quality.

Kelly Says

English's -ed suffix is remarkably flexible: it marks past tense but also creates adjectives describing states, like 'blue-eyed' or in this case, 'cooeyed'—it's one reason English can describe nearly anything with surprising economy.
