foggy

== English == === Etymology === From fog +‎ -y, originally in the sense "covered with tall grass; marshy; thick". It is not clear whether fog (“mist”) is a back-formation from foggy (“covered with tall, obscuring grass”) or has a separate Germanic origin, and hence whether foggy (“covered with tall grass”) and foggy (“obscured by mist”) represent one word or two. See fog ("mist"; "tall grass") for more. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈfɒɡi/ Rhymes: -ɒɡi === Adjective === foggy (comparative foggier, superlative foggiest) Obscured by mist or fog; unclear; hazy. (figuratively) Confused, befuddled, etc. Being, covered with, or pertaining to fog (“tall grass etc that grows after, or is left after, cutting; moss”) ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Translations ==== === References ===
