Etymology

The word 'kooky' originated in the 1960s in American English, likely as a variant of the earlier term 'kook,' which was used to describe an eccentric or crazy person. The roots of 'kook' can be traced back to the word 'cuckoo,' which is an idiomatic reference to someone who behaves in a silly or mad manner, mirroring the behavior of the bird, known for its unique call and habits. Over time, 'kooky' evolved into an adjective describing something as odd or strange, and the superlative form 'kookiest' denotes the highest degree of kookiness. This playful term has been embraced in popular culture and is often used in a light-hearted context to refer to whimsical or bizarre individuals and situations.
