OriginMid 16th century: perhaps a back-formation from foggy. In medieval English fog was a name for a type of coarse grass. Its origin is uncertain, but it may be related to Norwegian fogg. It gave rise to the adjective foggy, ‘covered with fog grass’, which also had the meaning ‘thick, murky, boggy’. The weather term fog was probably formed from foggy.
