Etymology
The word 'goodie' emerged in the English language during the late 19th century and is believed to be derived from 'good,' which expresses approval or satisfaction. The suffix '-ie' is often used in informal language to create diminutive forms or convey affection, hence transforming 'good' into 'goodie.' Initially, it referred to fine or desirable things, often taking on a playful or whimsical connotation. Over time, the usage of 'goodie' expanded to denote treats and small gifts, especially those associated with children, holidays, and celebrations. Its informal nature makes it popular in casual conversation, and today it is commonly used in various contexts to describe delightful small items or presents.
