18世紀イギリスの提督エドワード?ヴァーノンが、この生地のマントを好んでよく着ていたことからこの名がついた。彼は船員たちに、酔いを防ぐために強いラム酒を水で薄めるよう命じ、この水で薄めたラム酒を冗談でグロッグと呼ぶようになった。

grog

grog: [18] Grog comes from the nickname of Edward Vernon (1684–1757), the British admiral who in 1740 introduced the practice of serving rum and water (grog) to sailors in the Royal Navy rather than the hitherto customary neat rum (it was discontinued in 1970). His nickname was ‘Old Grogram’, said to be an allusion to the grogram cloak he always wore (grogram ‘coarse fabric’ [16] comes from French gros grain, literally ‘coarse grain’). Groggy [18], originally ‘drunk’, is a derivative.

grog (n.)

1749, "alcoholic drink diluted with water," supposedly a reference to Old Grog, nickname of Edward Vernon (1684-1757), British admiral who wore a grogram (q.v.) cloak and who in August 1740 ordered his sailors' rum to be diluted. George Washington's older half-brother Lawrence served under Vernon in the Caribbean and renamed the family's Hunting Creek Plantation in Virginia for him in 1740, calling it Mount Vernon. Eventually the word came popularly to mean "strong drink" of any kind. Grog shop "tavern where alcohol is sold by the glass" is from 1790.
