'catchphrase' originates from English, specifically the combination of 'catch' and 'phrase', where 'catch' meant 'to capture' and 'phrase' meant 'a group of words'.

'catchphrase' evolved from the combination of the words 'catch' and 'phrase' in English, and eventually became the modern English word 'catchphrase'.

Initially, it meant 'a phrase that captures attention', and over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a well-known sentence or phrase associated with a person or group'.
