The word "cuckooed" is derived from the verb "cuckoo". The etymology of "cuckoo" can be traced back to Old French "cucu", which is an onomatopoeic word imitating the sound that the bird makes. This Old French term was later adapted from the Latin word "cuculus", having the same meaning. Over time, the term "cuckoo" came to be associated with the behavior of the bird, particularly its habit of laying its eggs in the nests of other bird species, leaving the responsibility of raising its offspring to the unsuspecting hosts. This behavior inspired the extension of the term "cuckoo" to refer to people who are tricked or deceived, giving rise to the verb "cuckooed" to describe the act of being fooled or cheated.
