Etymology of SPOONED

The word "spooned" is derived from the noun "spoon". The Old English word "spon" originally referred to a wooden chip, splinter, or a thin strip of wood that was used for shaping or eating. In Middle English, the word evolved to "spon" or "spoon", specifically referring to a utensil with a shallow bowl and a handle, used for eating or serving. Over time, the verb form "to spoon" emerged to mean using a spoon or, metaphorically, to take or serve food using a spoon. Eventually, this verb form transitioned to also mean cuddling or being in a close and affectionate position, sometimes referred to as "spooning" with someone.
