Etymology
From Old Norse svar (“answer, reply”), either derived from the verb svara or inherited from Proto-Germanic *swarō (“solemn statement”), cognate with English swear (compare sværge (“swear”), from Proto-Germanic *swarjaną). Compare also the compound *andaswarō (“reply”) in English answer and Danish ansvar (“responsibility”). See: Old Norse Nouns '
svar', English Nouns '
swear', English Nouns '
answer', Danish Nouns '
ansvar'.
