Word origin
The word 'sway' originated from Old Norse 'sveigja' and Middle English 'sweyen'. It has been used in English since the 14th century. The verb form originally meant 'to bend or incline' and later acquired the meaning of 'move back and forth'. The noun form developed from the idea of a rhythmic movement or influence.
