The phrase "socked in" originated in military aviation during World War II, referring to weather conditions that obstruct visibility, particularly when clouds or fog envelop an area, making it difficult for pilots to navigate. The term likely derives from the idea of being "socked" or trapped in by the weather, similar to being confined or restricted. Over time, it has been adopted in broader contexts to describe situations where visibility or access is severely limited, often due to adverse conditions.
