Etymology
The word 'swarm' originated from the Old English word 'swearm', which referred to a tumultuous or confused mass. Over time, it came to specifically describe a large number of insects or small organisms. The concept of a swarm has been observed in nature for centuries, with bees and other insects displaying this behavior as a means of protection, reproduction, or migration.
