Etymology
Smoochy comes from the casual verb smooch, a simple word for a 'kiss' that probably copies the soft sound of kissing, and the ending -y means 'full of' or 'like'. So something smoochy is full of kisses or very romantic, which is why we call a song, card, or film 'smoochy' when it feels overly sweet.
