Forms: 1700s– fogou, 1800s– fougou.

Origin: A borrowing from Cornish. Etymon: Cornish fogow.

Etymology: < Cornish fogow (1754 or earlier), originally an inflected form (with lenition of the initial consonant) of an otherwise unattested word with the sense ‘cave, cavern’ (reflected in place names such as Vugga , Vougo , and Vwgha ), cognate with Breton mougev , in the same sense; further etymology unknown. Compare vogal n., vug n.

English regional (Cornwall).

A man-made underground passage or chamber lined with stone; a souterrain.Quot. 1754 apparently shows a use of the Cornish word (the text cited elsewhere includes the word as a headword in its ‘Cornish–English Vocabulary’), perhaps as the proper name of a particular cave.
