If two people canoodle, they kiss and hold each other in a warm, sexual, slightly playful way. It is not a cold or technical word. It is informal, a bit cheeky, and a little old-fashioned; you hear it more in British English and in jokes than in school essays. A couple might canoodle on a park bench. It is milder and funnier than a strong word for sex, but it does mean bodies close together, so some readers will blush. Nobody is sure where the word comes from. Some people guess it mixes caress with , to fool around. Others point at German knuddeln, to cuddle. Treat those as guesses, not facts.
卿卿我我、親熱（接吻愛撫；口語、帶點俏皮）
組成Origin uncertain. Suggested guesses include a blend of caress and noodle (to fool around), or a link to German knuddeln (to cuddle). No one has shown which, if any, is right.
