Origin

From dialectal English mug (“fog, mist; Scotch mist”) + -y, ultimately from Old Norse mugg

From dialectal English mug (“fog, mist; Scotch mist”) + -y, ultimately from Old Norse mugga (“drizzle, mist”); borrowed some time before 1390, when a derived verb, Middle English mugen (“of a fog: to drizzle”), is attested.
