Bocklogged

/ˈbɒkˌlɔɡd/ adjective

Definition

A dialectal or archaic term possibly meaning blocked, obstructed, or stuck like a log; the exact meaning is uncertain.

Etymology

Possibly a combination of 'bock' (to strike, thrust, or stop) and 'logged' (stuck), or a corruption of 'backlogged'; etymology is speculative.

Kelly Says

Bocklogged is so obscure that it may be a ghost word—a term so rare it survives in only one or two old texts, impossible to verify.
