Origin Mid 16th century: from Old French en gogues, from en 'in' + the plural of gogue 'fun'. If you are agog you are now very eager to hear or see something, but originally you were having fun. The word comes from Old French en gogues, ‘in mirth, in a merry mood’. The French-coined 1960s phrase a gogo, meaning ‘galore’, comes from the same root.
