vogue

vogue: [16] The etymological notion underlying the word vogue is of being borne along on the ‘waves’ of fashion. Its immediate source was French vogue. This was originally used for ‘rowing’, but was subsequently extended metaphorically via ‘smooth easy course’ and ‘successful course’ to ‘fashionable course’. French vogue itself, though, was of Germanic origin. It was a derivative of the verb voguer ‘row, go along smoothly’, which was probably borrowed from Old Low German *wogon ‘float on the waves’ (a relative of English waggon, way, etc).
=> waggon, way

vogue (n.)

1570s, the vogue, "height of popularity or accepted fashion," from Middle French vogue "fashion, success;" also "drift, swaying motion (of a boat)" literally "a rowing," from Old French voguer "to row, sway, set sail" (15c.), probably from a Germanic source. Compare Old High German wagon "to float, fluctuate," literally "to balance oneself;" German Wege "wave, billow," wogen "fluctuate, float" (see weigh).

Perhaps the notion is of being "borne along on the waves of fashion." Italian voga "a rowing," Spanish boga "rowing," but colloquially "fashion, reputation" also probably are from the same Germanic source. Phrase in vogue "having a prominent place in popular fashion" first recorded 1643. The fashion magazine began publication in 1892.
