Etymology

1. From Middle High German swërt, from Old High German swërt (attested since the 8th century); from Proto-West Germanic *swerd, from Proto-Germanic *swerdą. The further etymology outside the Germanic branch is currently unknown:
2. * According to Pfeifer, *swerdą, swerða- seems to be a nominal derivative with dental suffix originating from Proto-Indo-European *swer- (“to fester, to cut”) and may, thus, be a cognate to German schwären (“to fester”).
3. * According to Kroonen, the link with Proto-Indo-European *swer- (“to fester, to cut”) is attractive, but the formation may rarther be an instrumental in *-dʰrom. *swerdą would then have been dissimilated from *swerdrą.
