Etymology

The word 'swilled' originates from Middle English 'swillen', meaning to wash or wash out. This earlier term was derived from the Old English 'swillan', which also referred to the act of washing or bathing. Over time, the meaning evolved to encompass the idea of consuming liquids hastily or in large quantities. This shift in meaning is reflective of social practices around drinking and communal consumption. The word is often used in both formal and informal contexts but frequently appears in narratives involving heavy drinking or the consumption of beverages in a boisterous manner.
