WHAT DOES BOGLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Bogle

A bogle, boggle or bogill is a British (particularly Northumbrian[1] and Scots) term for a ghost or folkloric being,[2] used for a variety of related folkloric creatures including Shellycoats,[3] Barguests,[3] Brags,[3] the Hedley Kow[1][4] and even giants such as those associated with Cobb's Causey[4] (also known as "ettins", "yetuns" or "yotuns" in Northumberland).[4] The name is derived from the Middle-English Bugge (of which the term bogey is also derived) which is in turn a cognate of the German term word bögge (of which böggel-mann ("Goblin") is derived)[5][6][7] and possibly the Norwegian dialect word bugge meaning "important man".[8] The Welsh Bwg could also be connected,[5] and was thought in the past to be the origin of the English term; however, it has been suggested that it is itself a borrowing from Middle English.[9][10] They are reputed to live for the simple purpose of perplexing mankind, rather than seriously harming or serving them.
