Surface Forms

nookie singular
nookies plural

Morphology

nookie = nook (semi-transparent) = nook + ie

Formally built from 'nook' + diminutive suffix '-ie', but the meaning 'sexual activity' arises metaphorically from a secluded place to the activity, which is not directly predictable for learners.

Etymology

The word nookie is American slang for sex or sexual activity. A helpful way to remember it is to think of nook meaning 'a small private corner' plus the friendly ending -ie, so nookie brings to mind a secret, cozy place to be alone together.
