Etymology
The term 'slog' originated from the early 19th century in British English, derived from the dialectal word 'slog', which means to hit or strike hard, possibly linked to the notion of working hard. The roots can be traced back to the Old English 'sloggan', which meant to strike down or hit something. Over time, the meaning evolved to represent persistent effort or labor, especially in physically demanding tasks. The application of 'slogged' in slang or informal contexts reflects the relentless nature of various activities, implying not just exertion but also enduring through difficulty. The usage has broadened into metaphorical expressions, where 'slogging' can refer to dealing with monotonous assignments or challenging situations.
