Usage Examples

Etymology

**Gogo** (noun) comes from the English term *go‑go*, an onomatopoeic reduplication of the verb *go* used in the 1940s–50s to denote fast, energetic motion or music. The word was adopted into French in the mid‑20th century to refer specifically to a type of dance or dancer, especially a stripper. Thus *gogo* is a direct loan from English, with its origin in the repeated verb *go* implying quickness and vigor.
