Origin

1960s: from French à gogo, from Old French gogue 'fun'.

  • agog from mid 16th century:

    If you are agog you are now very eager to hear or see something, but originally you were having fun. The word comes from Old French en gogues, ‘in mirth, in a merry mood’. The French-coined 1960s phrase a gogo, meaning ‘galore’, comes from the same root.
