Sloganeer → The word is formed from 'slogan' (from Scottish Gaelic *slogain*, meaning a battle cry or a phrase used in battle) and the suffix '-eer' (meaning a person who). A sloganeer is a person who creates or uses slogans, often for advertising or political purposes.
Memory Tip
Think of a 'slogan' as a catchy phrase used to rally people, and '-eer' means a person. So, a sloganeer is someone who crafts those rallying phrases.
