Not working or moving; idle or inactive; said of machinery or horses.
From a- (not) + jog, likely influenced by Urdu 'a-jog.' The term developed in South Asian English to describe animals or mechanical equipment not in use.
This word beautifully captures the concept of readiness without action—a horse standing still with saddle on is 'ajog,' waiting to go but not going, a state between rest and motion.
