Etymology

The word 'agog' originates from the early 18th century and is derived from the French word 'ร  gogo', meaning 'in abundance' or 'excessively'. Its use was likely influenced by its association with enthusiasm and eagerness in French-speaking cultures. The English adaptation captures a sense of excited restlessness, particularly in contexts where individuals are waiting for news or anticipating an event. Over the years, 'agog' has maintained its connotation of excitement, often used in literary and conversational contexts to express heightened emotional states linked to curiosity or anticipation.
