单词 fogle
释义

foglen.

Brit. /ˈfəʊɡl/, U.S. /ˈfoʊɡ(ə)l/
Origin: Of unknown origin.
Etymology: Origin unknown.Several etymologies have been proposed for this word, although none appears to be supported by documentary evidence. It has been suggested that this word is a borrowing of either German Vogel or Yiddish foygl bird (see fowl n.), perhaps with allusion to the spotted pattern formerly used on some handkerchiefs (compare bird's eye adj. 1a), or perhaps reflecting use among pickpockets to denote items that were typically ‘flying’ from their owners' pockets, although evidence for these specific senses in German and Yiddish appears to be lacking.
slang. Now archaic.
