@AdamConover explains How @Listerine's Marketing-Department invented #Halitosis | @JNJNews

The word “Halitosis” is built on ancient words that mean Breath, |Exhalation, Steam, Vapor + the suffix -|osis.

Hmm ... Adam says (reporting from one of his team's sources) that Listerine was originally a floor-cleaning liquid---Listerine's own site (which admits that they coined the term 'halitosis') calls it "pulverized antiseptic."
