Cogged

/kɔɡd/ adjective

Definition

Fitted with cogs (teeth or projections), or having gears attached to enable mechanical movement.

Etymology

From 'cog' (a tooth on a gear wheel), possibly from Old Norse 'kögr' (wooden peg). The '-ed' suffix marks it as an adjective describing something that has been equipped with cogs.

Kelly Says

A cogged wheel is basically a gear—those interlocking teeth that make machines work together in synchronized harmony, like the gears in a clock or bicycle!
