Etymology: "Sloganizing" is the present participle of "sloganize," a verb made from "slogan" plus the suffix "-ize," which passed into English through French and Latin from Greek "-izein." The noun "slogan" comes from Scottish Gaelic "sluagh-ghairm," meaning "army cry," from "sluagh" (host) and "gairm" (shout). It reached English in the early 1700s as the battle cry of Highland clans. The shift from battlefield to marketplace came much later. "Slogan" was still a call to arms when it began to name a short, memorable phrase used to sell goods, and the verb followed as advertisers needed a word for crafting such lines.
