foggy
UK: ˈfɒɡi | US: ˈfɑːɡi
adj. 1. Full of or covered with fog; hazy.

The word "foggy" combines "fog," derived from Old Norse fok (meaning "spray, snowdrift") or Danish fog (meaning "driving snow"), with the adjectival suffix "-y" (from Old English -ig). Originally describing weather conditions, its figurative use for mental confusion emerged by the 16th century, likening obscured visibility to muddled thinking.
