Etymology
The word 'bogied' traces its origins back to the early 20th century, being linked to the term 'bogey'. 'Bogey' itself has an earlier genesis in the 19th century, where it was used to denote a ghost or a shadowy figure, often in British folklore and slang. The word was popularized in military contexts, referring to an enemy aircraft. As language evolved, 'bogey' began to be used more informally, giving rise to 'bogied' as a description of someone experiencing fear or flight in response to a perceived threat. Thus, 'bogied' encapsulates the transition from a ghostly figure to a term embodying panic and fear.
