It's difficult to trace the exact country, but we do know it's from the Gaelic word "bogach", which means "swamp".

It was then adapted by the English in the phrase "bog-standard". Meaning something looks or smells like a swamp.

The word "bog" originates from the Old Irish "bāc" which means soft or moist ground. It is commonly used to refer to wetlands or marshy areas.
