Etymology

The term 'slogging' originates from the verb 'slog,' which dates back to the early 19th century. It is believed to have evolved from the earlier British dialect term 'slog,' which means to strike or hit heavily. Over time, the meaning shifted to describe heavy work and persistence in labor, especially in unfavorable conditions. 'Slog' is also associated with the physical effort involved in tasks such as walking slowly and heavily, particularly in muddy or difficult terrain, thus contributing to its modern usage. As language evolved, 'slogging' came to denote not only physical exertion but also mental and emotional persistence in achieving a goal, reflecting a broader use of the word in contemporary language.
