Did You Know?

Based on surface resemblance, you might guess that logy (also sometimes spelled loggy) is related to groggy, but that’s not the case. Groggy ultimately comes from “Old Grog,” the nickname of an English admiral who was notorious for his cloak made of a fabric called grogram — and for adding water to his crew’s rum. The sailors called the rum mixture grog after the admiral. Because of the effect of grog, groggy came to mean “weak and unsteady on the feet or in action.” No one is really sure about the origin of logy, but experts speculate that it comes from the Dutch word log, meaning “heavy.”

词源词根演化：(speculation) log (Dutch, “heavy”) —> logy

基于表面拼写上的相似性，你可能会猜测logy（有时也写作loggy）与groggy有关系，不过这并不是事实。groggy最终来自于“Old Grog”，这是一位英国上将/船长的昵称，他由于经常穿着一种由grogram制作的斗篷而且向船员的甜酒中加水而臭名昭著。水手们就把这种掺了水的酒叫做“grog”，是根据他的名字命名的。由于grog的效果，groggy开始表示“脚下或者行动中弱的，不稳当的”这个意思。没有人真的知道logy的起源，不过专家们推测它可能来源于荷兰单词log，意思是“重的”。

注：cloak：斗篷；rum：甜酒

Examples

I was feeling logy after eating such a big meal, so I decided to take a brief nap.
在吃了一段大餐后，我感觉很慵懒，于是决定小憩一下。

“The movie is a diverting live-wire lark — one that, for my money, gets closer to the spirit of what Robin Hood is about than the logy 1991 Kevin Costner version or the dismal 2010 Russell Crowe version.”
— Own Gleiberman, Variety, 20 Nov. 2018

这部电影就是一部欢乐的百灵鸟嬉戏 — 它，为了我的电影票钱，比起1991 Kevin Constner的缓慢节奏版本与2010 Russell Crowe的阴暗版本，是最接近罗宾汉原著精神的版本。

注：diverting：有趣的，快乐的；live-wire：正通电的电线；lark：云雀，百灵鸟，嬉戏，玩笑；dismal：阴沉的，凄凉的，暗的
