Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Originating in late 19th-century American English, the term combines reduplication of 'goo' (likely an alteration of 'good' or baby talk representing a soft, affectionate sound) with 'eyes'. It was popularized in vaudeville and early popular culture to describe amorous or lovestruck glances, eventually cementing itself in informal idioms.
