GROG Meaning and
Definition
-
Grog is a term that can refer to two different things: a beverage or a piece of clothing.
As a beverage, grog is a type of alcoholic drink typically made from a mixture of rum and water or another type of liquor diluted with water. It is often sweetened with sugar or flavored with various spices. Originally, grog was a part of British naval tradition, where it was commonly given to sailors as a daily ration to combat scurvy, a vitamin C deficiency disease. The use of grog as a ration was initiated by Vice Admiral Edward Vernon, nicknamed "Old Grog," who ordered sailors to dilute their rum with water to prevent overconsumption. Over time, the term grog came to be associated with this beverage mixture.
Moreover, grog can also refer to a type of coarse and strong fabric. This fabric is typically made from wool and is often used to produce outerwear such as coats or jackets. Because of its durable nature, grog fabric is known for its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. The term grog fabric is derived from its historical use among sailors, who would wear this type of clothing to protect themselves from the cold and wet conditions at sea.
Overall, grog can either refer to an alcoholic beverage made from diluted liquor or to a coarse wool fabric used for outerwear.

Etymology of GROG
The word "grog" is believed to have originated in the 18th century British Royal Navy. It is derived from the nickname "Old Grog" given to Admiral Edward Vernon. In 1740, Admiral Vernon ordered his sailors to dilute their rum ration with water to prevent drunkenness and maintain discipline. The mixture was known as "grog" and it quickly gained popularity among sailors. The nickname "Old Grog" was given to Admiral Vernon due to the grogram cloak (a type of coarse fabric) he often wore. Over time, the term "grog" came to refer not only to the diluted rum drink but also to any alcoholic beverage in general.
