单词 fogus
释义

fogusn.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: fog n.2
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps < fog n.2 (compare fog n.2 2b) + -us , after Latin nouns with this ending: compare e.g. mopus n.1, mundungus n. N.E.D. (1897) gives the pronunciation as (fōu·gɒ̆s) /ˈfəʊɡəs/. Compare the following, which apparently shows alteration of the present word after hogo n. for the purposes of rhyme (compare fogo n.):1684 in N. Thompson Choice Coll. Loyal Songs 257 Then bring in a Paper of excellent Fogoe, That we may perfume the whole house with the hogoe.
slang. Obsolete.
Tobacco.
