51642 bog [[English]] ipa :/bɔɡ/[Anagrams] - gob [Etymology 1] From Middle English bog, from Irish and Scottish Gaelic bogach (“soft, boggy ground”), from Old Irish bog (“soft”),[1] from Proto-Celtic *buggos (“soft, tender”) + Old Irish -ach, from Proto-Celtic *-ākos.The frequent use to form compounds regarding the animals and plants in such areas mimics Irish compositions such as bog-luachair (“bulrush, bogrush”).[1]Its use for toilets is now often derived from the resemblance of latrines and outhouse cesspools to bogholes,[2][3] but the noun sense appears to be a clipped form of boghouse (“outhouse, privy”),[4] which derived (possibly via boggard) from the verb to bog,[5] still used in Australian English.[3] The derivation and its connection to other senses of "bog" remains uncertain, however, owing to an extreme lack of early citations due to its perceived vulgarity.[6][7] [Etymology 2] See bug[8] [Etymology 3] Uncertain,[9] although possibly related to bug in its original senses of "big" and "puffed up". [Etymology 4] From bug off, a clipping of bugger off, likely under the influence of bog (coarse British slang for "toilet[s]").
