Something small and pleasing, especially a piece of candy or a tasty treat, often used in the plural for an assortment of such things.
Goody is used loosely for anything considered a little indulgence, from a bag of party goodies to a favorite snack saved for later. Centuries earlier, Goody served as a polite title placed before a married woman's surname, short for goodwife, a usage now confined to historical fiction and old records. Children also shout goody as an exclamation of delight, a playful echo of the same word's older, gentler meaning.
