Trapped, stuck, or unable to move or travel because of thick fog.
From 'fog' + 'bound' (past participle of 'bind,' meaning restricted or confined). The '-bound' suffix appears in many English words to mean 'confined by' or 'stuck with,' like 'homebound' or 'icebound.'
Before modern navigation technology, fogbound ships would literally drop anchor and wait, sometimes for days, unable to see more than a few feet ahead—it was one of the ocean's most frightening obstacles.
