Origin: Of uncertain origin. Probably formed within English, by compounding. Etymon: boogie n.¹

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Probably a reduplication (with variation of the initial consonant) of boogie n.¹, perhaps intended as ‘music characteristic of a bogeyman’ (compare boogie n.¹ 1). Compare boogie n.³Compare (apparently isolated) earlier use of boogy-woogy man with reference to a bogeyman:1912 Abilene (Kansas) Weekly Reflector 22 Aug. 7/1 The ‘boogy-woogy’ man continues to prowl around the streets at night... All the descriptions given the ‘boogy-woogy’ man are alike.Compare also earlier uses of boogie n.¹ and bogy n.¹ in titles of pieces composed in other musical styles in the United States, frequently referring to dance, e.g. Boogie Man (1880), Dance of the Boogie (1892), The Bogey Walk (1900), Hoogie Boogie Dance (1909), That Syncopated Boogie Boo (1912), Boogie Rag (1917). Compare also booger rooger in the title of a musically related piece Booger Rooger Blues (1927; compare booger n.²) by U.S. blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter ‘Blind’ Lemon Jefferson (?1897–1929). It has been suggested that boogie-woogie or boogie (compare boogie n.³) were used from the early 20th cent. (or earlier) to denote syphilis or the movement disorders produced by it, and were subsequently extended to refer to a dance or dance move; however, contemporary evidence for disease-related senses appears to be lacking. An origin in an African language, as frequently proposed, is not borne out by early evidence.

Originally U.S.

A style of playing blues, usually on the piano, characterized by fast, continuously repeating bass rhythms accompanying an independent improvised melody; a piece of music played in this style. Also: a dance performed to this music.In quot. 1928 as the title of a recording by the U.S. blues pianist Clarence ‘Pinetop’ Smith (1904–29), in which Smith can be heard encouraging his audience to ‘do a boogie-woogie’, apparently some kind of dance move. The popularity of this piece appears to have been responsible for the widespread adoption of the term for this style of music.
