spoony
Sickeningly sweet romantically
Spoony is an old-fashioned word meaning foolishly or sentimentally in love, or excessively affectionate in a way that seems silly: They were spoony over each other like teenagers.
It can also describe someone who is foolish or simple-minded.
The word sounds quaint and is rarely used today except for period effect.
