英语词汇soggy的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	soggy
词源	soggy adj. "horoughly wet, damp and heavy from being soaked," 1722, perhaps with -y (2) + dialectal sog "bog, swamp" (q.v.) or its verb sog "become soaked" (15c.), both of which are of unknown origin. Related: Soggily; sogginess. Entries linking to soggy -y 2 adjective suffix, "full of or characterized by," from Old English -ig, from Proto-Germanic -iga- (source also of Dutch, Danish, German -ig, Gothic -egs), from PIE -(i)ko-, adjectival suffix, cognate with elements in Greek -ikos, Latin -icus (see -ic). Originally added to nouns in Old English; used from 13c. with verbs, and by 15c. even with other adjectives (for example crispy). Adjectives such as hugy, vasty* are artificial words that exist for the sake of poetical metrics. sog n. "soft or marshy place, bog, quagmire," 1530s, a word of unknown origin. It is attested earlier as a verb, "to become soaked; to soak" (mid-15c.), and is perhaps related to soak (v.) or from or related to similar words in Scandinavian.
