Etymology
Kissing comes from a very old action word, like Old English cyssan, and it probably started as a copy of the small sound or soft touch when two lips meet. So, thinking of the little 'smack' or soft press of lips helps you remember that Kissing means touching someone's lips to show love or friendship.
