Word origin

The word 'soggy' comes from the Middle English term 'soggen', which means to soak or saturate. This term is believed to have roots in Old Norse, specifically the word 'sǫg' which refers to moisture or wetness. Over time, 'soggy' evolved to describe something that had absorbed water to an excessive degree. The comparative form 'soggier' and superlative 'soggiest' were formed to express varying degrees of this condition. The usage of 'soggy' has been documented since the 19th century, primarily in British English, emphasizing its association with descriptions of food, weather, and soil. Today, 'soggiest' is commonly used in both written and spoken English, often appearing in contexts related to outdoor conditions and culinary experiences.
