buycottn.

Brit.

/ˈbʌɪkɒt/, U.S.

/ˈbaɪˌkɑt/

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: boycott n., buy v.

Etymology: Punning alteration of boycott n., with substitution of buy v. for the first element.

Originally: a form of protest in which participants encourage using a particular company, business, etc., often as counterreaction to a boycott or as a protest against another company. In later use: the fact of deliberately choosing to buy from a company or business due to its ethical standards.

1940 N.Y. Times 18 May (Late City ed.) 18/7 Employers introduced the ‘buycott’ into an industrial dispute today... The San Francisco Employers Council urged the public to buy the products of the Euclid Candy Company, which is being picketed by members of the C.I.O. Warehousemen's Union.

1991 Globe & Mail (Toronto) (Nexis) 25 Apr. For many boycotts there's an equal and opposite ‘buycott’, in which consumers seek out the goods of conscientious companies.
