Word origin

The word 'swill' originated in Middle English, derived from the Old English word 'swilian', meaning 'to wash'. Over time, the term evolved to refer to a mixture of food scraps and liquids given to animals, as well as the act of drinking greedily. 'Swill' has been used in the English language for centuries, often associated with feeding livestock or consuming liquids hastily.
