Fogged: meaning, definitions and examples

The word 'fog' has its origins in the late Old English word 'fogge', which is derived from the Proto-Germanic *fugwaz. This term was likely related to the concept of being covered or concealed in mist. The use of the word evolved over centuries, and by the 16th century, 'fog' became commonly used in English to describe thick mist that obscures visibility, especially near bodies of water. 'Fogged' as a verb form indicates an action related to this term, primarily impacting visibility or clarity. The metaphorical use of 'fogged' related to confusion in thought developed later, reflecting how the physical condition of fog can parallel mental clarity. This linguistic evolution illustrates how the term has expanded from a simple physical description to encompass broader meanings in various contexts.
