waterlogged 的词源

1759年，在《环球杂志》九月刊中关于拉各斯战役的报道中出现，来源于 water（名词1）+ log（名词1）；这个词的概念似乎是“将（船只）变成像木头一样的状态”。可以与 logged 进行比较。

WATER LOGGED, the state of a ship when, by receiving a great quantity of water into her hold, by leaking, &c., she has become heavy and inactive upon the sea, so as to yield without resistance to the efforts of every wave rushing over her decks. As, in this dangerous situation, the center of gravity is no longer fixed, but fluctuating from place to place, the stability of the ship is utterly lost. She is therefore almost totally deprived of the use of her sails, which would operate to overset her, or press the head under water. Hence there is no resource for the crew, except to free her by the pumps, or to abandon her by the boats as soon as possible. [William Falconer, "An Universal Dictionary of the Marine," London, 1784]

WATER LOGGED，指的是一艘船因进水过多（如漏水等原因），在海上变得沉重而迟钝，任凭每一波浪潮冲击其甲板。在这种危险情况下，船的重心不再固定，而是不断摇晃，导致船的稳定性完全丧失。因此，船几乎无法利用帆，只会使其倾覆或使船头沉入水中。船员们唯一的选择就是通过抽水泵排水，或者尽快放弃船只，乘小艇逃生。[威廉·福尔科纳，《海洋通用词典》，伦敦，1784年]

动词 waterlog（1779年）似乎是从名词形式演变而来。
