Slogan created through chat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

byword

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'slogan' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'through chat' is the wordplay.
'through' becomes 'by'.
'chat' becomes 'word' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'by'+'word'='BYWORD'

'created' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for byword that I've seen before include "Saw" , "One pointed at as exemplar" , "Person or thing spoken of as notable example" , "Memorable saying" , "Person or thing cited as a memorable example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
