fogbound
Stranded by haze
Fogbound describes something unable to move or operate because of fog.
A fogbound ship sits anchored in harbor, waiting for visibility to improve.
A fogbound airport delays or cancels flights.
The word can extend figuratively to mental states—someone fogbound by confusion or uncertainty cannot see their way forward.
