Origin of Gooden

  • Back-formation from goodening, an alteration of gooding (“to receive goods or goodies”), believed to be derived from goody or perhaps a survival of Middle English goden, godien (“to make good, become good, endow with goods”), from Old English gōdian (“to improve, get better; make better; endow, enrich”). Alternative etymology derives this term from earlier hoodening, hodening perhaps a corruption of Woden (“Odin”).

    From Wiktionary
