Morphology
pookie = pook + ie
The word is formed with the affectionate diminutive suffix '-ie' which signals a pet-name, but the stem 'pook' is not a productive or widely recognized English lexical base, so the exact meaning is not fully derivable from components.
Etymology
Pookie began as baby talk, a soft pet sound people make to show 'love'. It sounds like other friendly names such as cookie or sweetie, which is why pookie is used as a playful nickname for someone you care about.
