Goos

/ɡuːz/ noun

Definition

Plural of goo; sticky or slimy substances, or informal uses of goo in various contexts.

Etymology

Regular plural of 'goo', which itself is onomatopoetic or reduplicative in origin, mimicking the sound of thick, sticky matter.

Kelly Says

Goo is almost certainly onomatopoetic—the word sounds exactly like the substance feels, which is probably why it's been so successful and is used across so many contexts.
