1560年代,“以庄重的方式移动或行走”,显然来自一种古英语方言的残留词汇 swapan “扫,挥舞,冲刺”,源自原始日耳曼语 *swaip-,源自 PIE 词根 *swei-(2)“弯曲,转向”(见 swivel(n.))。意思是“用横扫的动作猛扑”,首次记录于1630年代(见 swoop(n.))。拼写中的 -oo- 可能受到苏格兰和英格兰北部方言 soop “扫”的影响,源自古诺尔斯语 sopa “扫”。相关: Swooped; swooping。
Verb alteration of Middle English swopen to sweep, from Old English swāpan — more at sweep
