boggy
Soft and waterlogged
Boggy describes ground that is soft, wet, and spongy—like a bog.
Boggy terrain squishes underfoot and may not support weight reliably: The path became boggy after the rains.
The word suggests waterlogged soil where drainage is poor, making walking difficult and machinery impractical.
