The word "goodie" has a fascinating history! It is believed to have originated in the 17th century, when it referred to something pleasant or agreeable. Over time, the term took on a more playful connotation, and by the mid-19th century, "goodie" was being used to describe a pleasant or attractive thing, such as a goodie bag filled with treats. Another possible origin of the word "goodie" is from the German word "güte," which means "goodness" or "good deed." This sense of the word can be seen in phrases such as "doing goodie" or "being a goodie," which implies doing something kind or charitable. Today, the term "goodie" is often used in a lighthearted or whimsical sense, and can refer to anything from a tasty treat to a fun and enjoyable experience.
