Etymology

The word 'groggily' comes from the adjective 'groggy', which has its origins in the early 19th century. It is believed to be derived from 'grog', a term for a mixture of rum and water served to sailors in the British Navy. When under the influence of grog, sailors often exhibited a dull or muddled state of mind, leading to the term 'groggy' to describe someone who is dazed or unsteady. The adverbial form 'groggily' emerged to convey the manner of doing something while in such a state. Over time, it has broadened beyond naval use to refer to anyone in a similar state of disorientation after waking or due to fatigue.
