Этимология (Английский)

Родственно шотландский: swank

Родственно средневерхненемецкий: swanken

Родственно немецкий: schwanken

In summary

From dialectal swank (“to strut, behave ostentatiously”), perhaps from an unrecorded Old English root, derived from Proto-Germanic *swankijaną (“to cause to sway, swing”) or from Proto-Germanic *swankaz (“lithe, bendsome, slender”), related to the Scots swank and the Middle High German swanken, modern German schwanken (“to sway”).
