Etymology of MOST BULLDOGGED

The word "bulldogged" does not have a specific etymology, as it is a derived form of the word "bulldog". However, we can look at the origins of the term "bulldog" to understand its possible connotations and meanings.

The term "bulldog" originated in England in the early 16th century. It was initially used to refer to a breed of dog that was originally bred for bull-baiting, a cruel sport popular at the time. The dogs were trained to grab the bull by the nose and hold on tenaciously, hence the term "bull-dog".
