Grog named after and why?

The word grog refers to a variety of alcoholic beverages. The word originally referred to a drink made with water or "small beer" (a weak beer) and rum, which was introduced into the Royal Navy by British Vice Admiral Edward Vernon on 21 August 1740.

Grogham is a course fabric made of wool and silk and stiffened with gum.
