The word soggy likely traces back to Old Norse söggr, meaning "wet" or "damp," reflecting its Scandinavian roots. The suffix -y (here as -gy) is a common English adjectival ending, turning the base into a descriptor for a waterlogged state. Over time, soggy expanded from describing physical wetness to metaphorical softness (e.g., food) or lethargy.
