Etymology

The word 'smooch' has its origins in the late 19th century and is thought to be a variation or blend of earlier terms used for kissing. It is believed to have been derived from the word 'smouch', which was used in Scottish dialects to refer to a kissing sound or an affectionate gesture. The playful and light-hearted nature of the word suggests a cultural shift in how kissing was perceived, moving from formal and restrained expressions of affection to more casual and romantic gestures. Over time, 'smooching' has become widely recognized in English-speaking countries and is often associated with youthful romance and fun. The word captures the essence of tenderness between partners and reflects the informal nature of modern relationships.
