Etymology
The word 'groggy' is believed to be derived from the 18th-century slang term 'grogginess,' which was used to describe the effects of consuming alcoholic beverages, particularly rum. The term likely originates from 'grog,' a drink made from rum and water, which was popular among sailors and associated with a lack of clarity or a foggy mind. Over time, 'groggy' came to describe the feeling experienced upon waking from sleep or when feeling dazed or sluggish. The suffix '-ier' has been added to create 'groggier,' indicating a comparative degree of the state of grogginess. As language evolved, the definition began to encompass a broader range of scenarios, such as exhaustion from fatigue or illness, leading to its current usage in everyday conversations.
