moggadored, a. slang.|ˈmɒgədɔːd|
Also mogodored.
[Orig. uncertain.]
Confused, ‘at a loss’.
Moggadored could just possibly be Irish. The element -adore- looks very like the Irish agent ending -adóir, and moggadore would be the natural anglicization of an Irish *mogadóir. This is not in any of the dictionaries, but it would be a regular formation from the verbal noun magadh ‘mock, jeer, make fun of, laugh at, etc.’ (A. J. Bliss).
