Definition
Present participle of cooey; making soft murmuring sounds like those of a pigeon or dove.
Etymology
Formed by adding -ing to cooey, which itself derives from the onomatopoetic coo. The -ing suffix creates the present participle and gerund forms.
Kelly Says
The progression coo → cooer → cooey → cooeying shows how English builds an entire word family from a single imitative sound, with each form serving a different grammatical role—all describing the same gentle pigeon sound.
