Morphology

togged = tog (transparent) = tog + ed

Standard participial adjective formed from the verb 'tog' meaning 'to dress', so a learner who knows the verb can infer 'togged' = 'dressed'.

Etymology

Togged comes from the simple word tog, which means 'clothes' and is still used today in the form togs. A helpful way to remember it is to think of toga, the Roman robe, and that's why to be togged up or out means to be 'dressed' in smart or special clothes.
