hype
Definition: Loud advertising and promotion.
Example: 1) The new movie by Steven Spielberg is getting a lot of hype.
Etymology: In the early 1800s, a 'hype' was a scam or swindle. A scam is
a false story or trick through which someone tries to get money from
other people. Modern advertising has the same objective as old-time
scams: to separate people from their money, while using as much 'hype'
as possible.
