- blog (n.)
- 1998, short for weblog (which is attested from 1994, though not in the sense "online journal"), from (World Wide) Web + log. Joe Bloggs (c. 1969) was British slang for "any hypothetical person" (compare U.S. equivalent Joe Blow); earlier blog meant "a servant boy" in one of the college houses (c. 1860, see Partridge, who describes this use as a "perversion of bloke"), and, as a verb, "to defeat" in schoolboy slang. The Blogger online publishing service was launched in 1999.

为web log(网络日志)的缩写。
blog其实是weblog的缩略,而weblog则是由web和log复合而成。Web的意思是“网络”,指the World Wide Web(万维网);log的原义是“航海日志”,后来被用以泛指任何类型的流水记录,因此,weblog就是在网络上的流水记录形式,相当于网络时代的日记本。作为weblog的缩略形式,blog可译为“网络日志”或“网志”。但有人认为,该名称虽然中规中矩,但缺乏出新之处,无法概括其独特内涵和深远意义,于是想出了“博客”这一中文译名,也有人将blog译为“博客日志”或“博客网站”,而将其派生词blogger译成“博客”。
