Etymology

The word 'fog' dates back to the Old Norse word 'fok,' meaning 'the act of blowing' or 'fog.' It has evolved over the centuries through various languages and dialects, ultimately resulting in the modern English term used today. The suffix '-ier' is a comparative suffix in English, used to denote a greater degree of the quality described by the adjective it modifies. Therefore, 'foggier' literally means 'having more fog.' The emergence of this term in the English language reflects the essential relationship humans have with weather phenomena, as fog often influences travel and daily activities. Furthermore, the metaphorical use of 'foggier' in contexts of understanding and clarity enhances its relevance in modern communication.
