Etymology

The word 'cooed' originates from the Middle English term 'cuen', which itself comes from the Old French 'cuer', meaning 'to cry out'. The sound described by 'cooing' has been historically associated with the vocalizations of doves and pigeons, which have been domesticated and admired by humans for centuries. The term captures not only the sound but also evokes a sense of tenderness and peace. Its use has expanded beyond avian sounds to describe gentle murmurs between loved ones or soothing sounds made to calm children. The evolution of the word mirrors cultural perceptions of gentleness and affection in communication.
