Adjective

IPA: /ˈfɒɡi/ Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-foggy.wav Forms: foggier [comparative], foggiest [superlative]
Rhymes: -ɒɡi 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. Etymology templates: {{suf|en|fog|y|id2=adjectival}} fog + -y Head templates: {{en-adj|er}} foggy (comparative foggier, superlative foggiest)
