SLOGAN

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 244 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SLOGAN , the war-cry of the Highland clans. It was the gathering
call
  of the clan, often the name of the clan, the place of '
meeting
 , and the like, and was uttered when charging in battle. The Gaelic word, of which " slogan " is the
English
  adaptation, is sluagh-ghairm, from sluagh, army, host, and gairm,
call
 , cry. A variant form of " slogan " is " slogorne," which has given rise to an invented word " slughorn," used by Chatterton (Battle of Hastings, ii. 10) and by Browning (Childe Roland) as if the
term
  meant some
kind
  of war-
trumpet
  or horn.
Skeat
  (Etym. Dict. 1898, Errata and Addenda) has shown that Chatterton used an edition of Gavin Douglas's
translation
  of Virgil, where" slogorne " is spelled " slughorne," and the context, " The deaucht
trumpet
  blawis the brag of were; the slughorne, enseule or the wache cry went for the battall all suld be reddy," misled him.
