[Perh. a frequentative of an onomatopœic *gog, expressive of oscillating movement (cf. jog, joggle); cf. gog n.2 and n.3; also goggle n. 5. It may be noticed that mod. Welsh and Gaelic have several words of similar form and sense: Welsh gogi to shake, Gael. gog a nodding or tossing of the head, gogshùil (? from Eng.) a goggle-eye. The verb, like the combinations goggle-eye, -eyed, first becomes common in the 16th c., and is, with the few exceptions given under II, always used of movement of the eye, though in later use its meaning has been somewhat altered.
The Gaelic forms gogaid, gogaild, gogaill, gogag, ‘a light-headed woman, giddy female, coquette’, are prob. not related to gog and its derivatives, but merely adaptations of earlier English cocket = coquette.]
