    [Adjective]  | "agog" | \ ə-ˈgäg \


    1: full of intense interest or excitement : eager

    2: wide open : agape

    3: full of wonder or surprise : astonished


    Origin: 1664 ;

     Probably borrowed from Middle French en gogues "in good humor, mirthful," from en "in" + gogues, plural of gogue "good humor, joking, pleasantry, mockery," going back to a Gallo-Romance expressive base *gog-;

      * Note : Though Middle French en gogues is phonetically a plausible source of agog, the semantic link is not entirely clear. English examples from the 16th and 17th centuries are all for set agog, "to excite, stimulate, make eager," though this is not at all the sense of en gogues, and there is no comparable French mettre en gogues in any sense.;
