The act of cheating or tricking someone, especially at games or gambling; the process of fitting cogs or gears together.
From the verb 'cog' with the gerund suffix '-ing'. Can derive from either the cheating sense (Old Norse origin) or the mechanical sense of fitting cogs to machinery.
Cogging has a double life: it can mean either sneakily cheating someone (old-timey con artist style) or the technical process of assembling gears in a machine!
