Etymology: "Togging" is the present participle of "tog," a verb meaning to dress or to put on clothes. It is one of several words in the family of "toggery," the old slang term for clothing, and "togs," the everyday word for clothes, especially for outdoor or sporting wear. The form "togging" usually appears in phrases such as "togging up" or "togging out," where someone is getting ready in a particular outfit. The verb "tog" is recorded in English as slang and dialect use, and it has a long association with informal speech. Its exact origin is uncertain: etymologists have not settled on a firm source, so the word is best understood as a colloquial English term whose history is not fully documented.
