Étymologie (Anglais)

Inherited from Middle French vogue (“wave, course of success”), from Old French vogue (“a rowing”), from voguer (“to row, sway, set sail”), from Old Saxon wogōn (“to sway, rock”), var. of wagōn (“to float, fluctuate”), from Proto-West Germanic *wagōn, from Proto-Germanic *wagōną (“to sway, fluctuate”) and *wēgaz (“water in motion”), from *weganą (“to move, carry, weigh”), from Proto-Indo-European *weǵʰ- (“to move, go, transport”).
Akin to Old Saxon wegan (“to move”), Old High German wegan (“to move”), Old English wegan (“to move, carry, weigh”), Old Norse vaga (“to sway, fluctuate”), Old English wagian (“to sway, totter”). More at wag. Alternatively the verb may be derived from Italian vogare (“to row”).
