Etymology

Tog means 'to dress' and is often used as tog up when you put clothes on someone in a certain way. A helpful way to remember tog is to think of the Roman toga, a simple cloth people wore, so to 'tog' someone is to put clothes on them, which is why we still say 'tog up' for dressing warmly or smartly.
