Meaning and background
The story behind Cookies
Cookies preserves the plural form of an English food word. The dictionary records small cakes, but also colloquial person-related expressions and a computing sense involving stored website data. A dog owner may plainly intend the baked-treat association, while another household could have a technology joke in mind. The reference establishes these word senses rather than a traditional personal-name derivation, and the final s is part of this exact chosen spelling.
- Association
- Plural English word association, especially baked treats; computing and colloquial senses also exist. Source
