Etimologia (Inglese)

From Middle High German swert, from Old High German swert (attested since the 8th century); from Proto-West Germanic *swerd, from Proto-Germanic *swerdą, from Proto-Indo-European *swer- (“to fester, to cut”).
Germanic cognates with identical meaning include Hunsrik Schweert, Low German Sweerd, Dutch zwaard, Afrikaans swaard, English sword, West Frisian swurd, Danish sværd, Norwegian sverd, Swedish svärd, Icelandic sverð, Faroese svørð.
The further etymology outside the Germanic branch is currently unknown. *swerdą, swerða- seems to be a nominal derivative with dental suffix originating from Indo-European *swer- and may, thus, be a cognate to German schwären (“to fester”).
