Monger musing

I’m intrigued by the word ‘monger’ – as in warmonger, fearmonger, ironmonger, etc.

The dictionary defines it as one who sells or promotes something, usually something that is petty or undesirable.

So if I’m in the business of promoting people who are petty and undesirable (i.e. if I’m a ganster leader) does that make me a mongermonger?

Sounds like a James Bond villan’s name, so that’s probably right.
