Etimologia (Anglès)

Manllevat de alemany: Schwalbe

Cognat amb alemany: fliegen

In summary

Borrowed from German Schwalbe (“swallow, deliberate fall”), a cognate and thus a doublet of zwaluw. From a saying „Der fliegt wie ’ne Schwalbe!“ (“The man flies like a swallow!”), or the like, punning on German fliegen in its colloquial sense “to fall”.
